The skies are blue again as I tuck into my cereal and yoghurt, minus fruit, we still haven’t been able to go shopping. The road outside the site still seems to have a constant hum of traffic, where is everyone going! Into the office, first cuppa of the day. Strong builder’s for me with a... Continue Reading →
Our New Home for 2020 is…
I haven’t slept a wink, I think I’ve seen every hour of the night. My brain buzzing is with a list of things to do. It’s been like sitting at a computer with a thousand tabs open and unable to close any of them down. Tabs open for things I need to pack, sort, put... 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 →
A trip to the Circus and an Open Top Bus Tour of London

Winterising your Caravan
The dark nights are drawing in, the clocks have gone back and the temperature has dropped. Site wardens all over the UK are leaf blowing and hanging up their keys for the season. This can only mean one thing. Lots of people will be putting their caravans into storage until next spring. This is something... Continue Reading →
Looking Back on 2019
2019 started with a bang, 6 weeks this time in Lanzarote. 6 whole weeks of nothing but sunshine and recharging our batteries in readiness for our season at Longleat. The Jellybeans flew out and had a lovely week with us too. Just days after the plane hitting the tarmac at Gatwick we are hitching up... Continue Reading →
Shropshire for Christmas
It’s been three days since our month long winter caravan trip ended and we’re packing up the car again. This time it’s packed to the rafters. The cavernous space inside the Volvo is rammed. We’ve even squished the tortoise 'Harriet', also known as the Hedgehog, in and amongst bags of this and that. Destination, Shropshire... Continue Reading →
Longleat
At the end of a 2 mile narrow lane with plenty of passing places, Longleat CAMC Site is situated right next door to the Safari Park. A 50 metre walk or a half mile drive to the Safari Park. The Safari Park is so close that you will hear the animals from the comfort 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 →
