The journey into Belgium was, thankfully, uneventful. The area we are staying in is a little more built up than the site in The Netherlands. Driving down someone’s front street in a foreign country with a caravan on the back can be a bit worrying. There’s a level crossing at the end of the road... Continue Reading →
An afternoon in Sluis
A really lazy start to the day for me. The Boss was up and pedalling early doors, he had a fixed car to collect 20 miles away so set off on his road bike in his civvies and normal shoes 'and' his debit card. I took advantage and had a slow start to my day.... Continue Reading →
Bruges Day & Beach Day
After the car fiasco yesterday, we slept better than we’ve slept in a long time. Good old Red Pennant, have been better than we could have hoped for. The car was towed away to a local garage, owner Carlo is convinced he can fix it, hopefully in a few days. Red Pennant have been in... Continue Reading →
Burrrrrr(s)… Where’s Mi Big Coat?
6 weeks ago, on site at Broadway, toilet clean just finished, cuppa in hand, a quiet moment to check the emails. There’s a couple regarding training, one saying we’d had a parcel delivered and another asking for short term winter cover at a couple of sites. Working just over an 8 month contract away from...

Back to Work – Furloughed
It’s good being back on site, if nothing else it’s a change of scenery. Once again, furlough dictates no work, for now. Time to enjoy our lockdown garden whilst the peace reigns. A walk around is once again, soothing and relaxing, just what we need. Not quite the experience we had when lockdown was announced... Continue Reading →
Our Radio Book Review
Sat here in Lanzarote, it's just gone 6pm and I'm tuned into my local radio station from home, Wey Valley radio. Andy and Sarah introduce the Doobie Brothers as the Sunday Magazine show begins. Chopping some fruit for the sangria, Bluetooth speaker in position. Time to listen in. It's been a while since we published... Continue Reading →
Brighton – First Trip of 2020
We've been home for too long, 5 days is a long time. Trying to get my head round what to pack and my brain is going into meltdown. I'm bound to forget something. We've chucked a couple of bags in the car and still wandering around the house and garage staring blindly at piles of... Continue Reading →
Hooray Henleys
We said goodbye to the Motorhome Chit Chats in the rain, wound the legs up and ventured towards our last stop of our winter break, Henley Four Oaks Caravan and Motorhome Club Site. Dodging the rain drops we make it to site in good time and a break in the rain clouds. We are informed... Continue Reading →
Chatsworth – A Deer Do
"Is that Spire twisted" I ask as we drive through Chesterfield towards the Chatsworth Caravan and Motorhome Club Site. "It is", he says smuggly, "It's why the football team are nicknamed the Spireites". Surely this defect should have been fixed at the 'snagging' stage. We are keen to see the site, it is busy all...

Walnut Cottage Caravan Park, Shropshire – Site Review
Open all year, Walnut Cottage touring site is located in Shropshire, just south of Shrewsbury and Telford, five miles from the picturesque village of Much Wenlock. The site is best accessed (whilst towing) from the B4371 that runs along the Wenlock Edge, the final mile down quiet single track roads that have frequent passing places.... Continue Reading →
