A Jellybean Visit

Seven weeks after starting the new job and living in the caravan we finally feel settled and that we've got the caravan and the awning as we want them. So much so that we've got the weekend off and rather than go home we've invited our Jellybeans across to visit. It was a bit hit... Continue Reading →

An Anniversary Ride

Bit of a lie in today, 9am start at work. It's only a short shift, finishing at 2pm. Followed by a day off tomorrow and a lunchtime start the day after. Days off have been plentiful since we started the new job. Not much time to ourselves though, due to various commitments and going home... Continue Reading →

Our New Home is …

Training is done and dusted. I've come away knackered. It's a long time since I sat in a classroom, I don't know how kids do it, although, maybe I do, their learning days are shorter than ours were.

The driveway to reception skirts a path to... Continue Reading →

 Legs Down in Lytton Lawn

A bright crisp morning and we're off again.  Not as organised this time.  On arriving at the storage site to hook up we realised that we'd left the caravan step in the boot of our other car. Having visited the caravan last week taking some bits and pieces to it and of course having a... Continue Reading →

Mid week break at Sandy Balls

"Google that Sandy Balls place we saw at the NEC show", then we watched the screen with some trepidation as the 'return' button was pressed. Luckily, or unluckily, depending on your viewpoint, countless beach pornography sites did not appear and we found ourselves booking our next trip.  That incident was actually during the first week...
