Salisbury Hillside CAMC site is somewhere we’ve visited before. Way back in 2017, I noted in my review that we paid the princely sum of £20 a night for a pitch. Nine years later, it’s costing us… considerably more. Let’s just say inflation has been working harder than the campsite has. Apart from rising utility... Continue Reading →
Pootling around Devon
Oscar was remarkably well behaved while we were packing up at Merrose Farm CAMC Site, and even better behaved in the car on the journey. It’s almost as though he’s finally getting used to the routine. Either that, or he’s realised travelling in the car means onto new adventures. We arrived at the next leg... Continue Reading →
Cornwall. Harbours, Pasties and Seagull Poop
Moving on from Looe after a big storm had made the air feel fresher, fresher, not cooler, we were still dripping with sweat as the three of us sought shade and the blessed air conditioning of the car while departing Looe CAMC Site. The drive was uneventful. In fact, we even had to pull into... Continue Reading →
The Hurn Lane Leg of our Road Trip.
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 →
Logos and Longleat
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 →
Sun, Saddles and a Very Spoilt Cat
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 →
Sea Air, Sick Cat & the Price of a Kidney in the New Forest
After the best night’s sleep, I wake to the kettle boiling and the unmistakable sound of the cat throwing up… on my seat. Fortunately, our seats are covered with throws, so it’s easily sorted… by Steve. I’m still in bed. Every time I get into the caravan bed, I forget how comfy it is. You... Continue Reading →
A Lanzarote… But Not As We Know It
I wasn’t sure about publishing this blog, as our second week wasn’t much different to the first, but in true British fashion, we’ll have a polite moan about it anyway. Our second week began exactly as the first ended in Lanzarote, windy, cloudy, and not remotely the weather that I’d ordered when we booked this... Continue Reading →
Two Weeks in Lanzarote and One Very Loyal Grey Blanket
Our flight to Lanzarote was completely uneventful, exactly how you want a flight to be, until we reached the airport in Lanzarote. There we were greeted by the now infamous e-gates, which appear to have been installed specifically to remind British travellers that someone, somewhere, is keeping an eye on us. The queue was impressive.... Continue Reading →
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...
