July 30, 2016 - Margaret 8 Comments

We’re sliding slowly towards the end of the Big Scottish Tour and very soon we’ll be going back to our own house for a few weeks. It won’t be long before we set off again – this time south to France and Spain and beyond. For now though, it’s time to stop and reflect onRead more

July 7, 2016 - Margaret 11 Comments

So it’s two weeks since we completed the North Coast Adventure and we’ve spent most of it in the vicinity of home doing all the practical stuff that keeps us on the road. The van has been serviced inside and out and passed its MOT. The car, that currently spends most of its time withRead more
