Next stop Luxembourg

Our last night in Germany and the rain hammered on the roof, the lightning flashed and the thunder crashed. Packing up tomorrow is going to be easy as we have taken the canopy down, packed the aqua roll and wastemaster away ahead of the storm. 11am we’ve said our goodbyes to our neighbours, during the...

Die fantastische Mosel

A slightly longer blog than normal but it does have lots of photos. After a very long WiFi less weekend. We are on the move again. Another 4.5hr drive away from the Black Forest to Cochem. An area recommended by a German friend of Steve. The journey is mainly on two lane autobahns were traffic... Continue Reading →

Into Germany to Muck About

We really had to take our time packing up this morning. Departure time 11.30am and arrival at the next site is 1pm with just over an hour travelling time between the two sites. Riquewihr has been a lovely site to stop off at. Just two nights, I possibly could have done a third as I... Continue Reading →

Out and About in the Alsace

You will have to excuse me and my ignorance in this blog, we went out on the tandem and visited loads of little chocolate box villages. I will do my best to get the right photos with the correct town or village but if I get it wrong just enjoy the photos. Dry today, thank... Continue Reading →

Day 3 – Riquewihr

Packing up in the morning sunshine is lovely. We are done and dusted within about half an hour and hitched up on the back of the car. We will be sad to leave our first site, it was so quiet and so friendly. The only down side was that they wanted 8€ a day for... Continue Reading →

Day 1 Guignicourt

A 5.30am start can only mean one thing, we’re off on holiday again. Shower and a strong cup of tea whilst randomly chucking the odd forgotten item in a bag for life, I’m guaranteed to have forgotten something. We fuelled the car yesterday and discovered that the road to our caravan storage is closing for... Continue Reading →

Catavanning

A few days ago we went to give the caravan the once over, just checking it’s ok and hasn’t blown off in the recent storms we’ve had. It was still exactly where we had left it but very green, one of the joys of storing on a farm near trees. In order to return it... Continue Reading →

New Direction

Approximately 10 years ago we bought our first caravan and the blog was born. The road the blog was destined to follow, was our new found love, caravanning. The caravan took us on endless trips within the UK and Europe. Looking back I think we’ve been at our happiest in Europe in the caravan. We... Continue Reading →

The Netherlands Part 2

Bit of a lazy start this morning. We’ve got till 12pm to depart so we do a slow pack up even going to the trouble of unpacking the kettle to brew up part way through. The motor mover came into its own getting off the pitch, it’s not often we use it but we got... Continue Reading →

The Netherlands

On a cold, wet, windy, autumn morning in June, we loaded the car, hoisted the tandem onto the roof and hitched the caravan onto the back. It’s been 11 months since we last took the caravan out and we were a little nervous. This car hadn’t towed before, the tow ball was newly sanded and... Continue Reading →
