If you could go back to any age in your life what would you choose? The ‘other half’ has just asked. We thrive on this type of nonsense question as it tends to open up an interesting dialogue. I think about this for a second and immediately decide I wouldn’t go back to any day... Continue Reading →
Earth Conscious Natural Deodorant
Quite excited when this little tin landed on my doormat. I'd chosen lavender, my choice out of 6 different scents, with the others being citrus, mint, pure, tropical and spice. The lavender is a very subtle fragrance not over powering as I'd feared. The deodorants come in a handy sized tin and contain no parabins... Continue Reading →
Why we bought a Caravan

Update on ‘The Dream’ – Dec 2016
Let's sell all our worldly goods, house included, to fund the trip of a lifetime. Buy a Motorhome and travel the UK and Europe. The 'Dream' above is still the general end goal but we are not sufficiently funded to just go do it without a care, however, we do see a very real opportunity... Continue Reading →
Towing in France
Thought we would share some thoughts on our trip to France in the summer of 2015. If anyone out there has wondered or feared what it is like to tow outside our shores, then maybe this will give some food for thought. To date, this is our only trip abroad with the caravan but we...
