Setting up in stifling heat gets you just as wet as setting up in the rain. First impressions of this site are really good. We receive a lovely welcome from the warden who, it turns out, apparently lived just a few doors away from us, albeit 40 years ago. The site has a gate at... Continue Reading →
Waking to rain on a day when you have to pack up is never a good start. Fortunately, we took the canopy down the night before, so at least we didn’t have to transport it soaking wet. Not only was it wet, it was cold too. It was that proper wet rain, the kind that... Continue Reading →
The next couple of days rolled into one in that lovely way they do when you’re away in the caravan. A blur of sitting in the sunshine, trips out, snoozing, reading and, naturally, crocheting. Some folk climb mountains on holiday. I make blankets. Without even realising it, we’d picked the perfect pitch. The caravan blocked... Continue Reading →
The next trip is planned. Unlike our spontaneous trips to Europe, where we just plan the first night and then wing it, this year we’re staying in the UK, so everything has had to be booked in advance. Apparently, this is what responsible adults do. I can’t say I’m entirely comfortable with it. Now all... Continue Reading →
The rest of our stay passed in a blur of bike rides, tea stops, and an alarming amount of time spent catering to a small, furry dictator named Oscar. Oscar, for his part, has taken to caravanning like he’s been secretly doing it behind our backs for years. Honestly, if he could talk, I’m fairly... Continue Reading →
Our first outing of the year and, if I’m honest, we are not remotely prepared. Back in September we had a new axle fitted to our Bailey Pursuit. It had been showing signs of dropping for a few years, and the time finally came when we couldn’t ignore it any longer. While it was in... Continue Reading →
With temperatures set to soar to around 32° in our neck of the woods we head for the beach in hope of a cooling sea breeze. 30 minutes later, with the aircon accompanying The Kinks, we are pulling into a remarkably quiet car park on the seafront. Maybe everyone is staying home in the shade.... Continue Reading →
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 →
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 →
We sleep till 9am and probably could have slept longer but the heat inside the van is starting to get too much. Door thrown open and in floods… more hot air. It looks like it’s going to be a beautiful day. Today is going to be a day on the tandem, which is probably just... Continue Reading →
