Let’s get ready to go away

Waking up on our first morning off work. Caravan time. No rush. We've got till Thursday.  As a rule we try to go away every other week all year round. None of our trips are ever really planned. We may be organised for a longer trip and know where we are going a few weeks... Continue Reading →

The Life of a Bailey Pursuit

I sit quietly at the storage yard amongst a multitude of other 'Memory Boxes.' Most used regularly, loved and polished. Other boxes sit amongst us lonely and unloved, desperate for care and attention. My fridge is switched on and filled, blinds opened. Steadies wound up, The Volvo reverses slowly, the hitch lowers and clicks into... Continue Reading →

Bournville to Birmingham Canal Walk

Staying at Chapel Lane Caravan Club site we decide on a trip out. We are away with friends, they head off to Cadbury World with their kids. Being a bit tight and not having any kids with us we decide to pull on the walking boots and stretch the old legs. A couple of miles... Continue Reading →

Happy to be the age we are

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.

Thumbelina goes to Brighton 

Thumbelina was bought for me by a very dear work friend for my 50th birthday. Our first trip out this year and I thought it only fair to let her tell you how her holiday was.  My first holiday away! They've taken me to their caravan, I've got my own seat by the big front... Continue Reading →

An evening in the life of…

An evening in the caravan is so different to an evening at home. For a start we don't have a TV, no news, no One Show, no Corrie, oh how I miss my Corrie. I feel caravan life, I smell caravan life and my goodness, it smells good.  An evening normally starts as the sun... Continue Reading →
