France we’re Back

May 15, 2022May 15, 2022 - Margaret 17 Comments
Cliffs at Millau

We left Camping El Garrofer in Sitges, detouring to a local shopping area where there is an outdoor Laundromat. It was in the carpark of a supermarket in one of the less salubrious areas outside of the town just up the road from Lidl where we usually do our final shop before leaving. Unfortunately, theRead more

Brace yourself France – we’re on our way

April 2, 2022April 22, 2022 - Margaret 12 Comments

We recently left home for a twelve week trip to France and Spain. We had to push the leaving date back a week because of a silly but disastrous error with my electric bike. It went like this. We put our electric bikes in for service ready for the trip. Shirley’s took longer than mineRead more

Be careful what you wish for … again

February 2, 2022February 20, 2022 - Margaret 26 Comments

“I want an adventure” I cried one day when I should have known better. Almost everyone we talk to has been suffering from cabin fever and the frustration of plans being scuppered. It’s the common story of Covid. Most motorhomers that we know have looked at their pride and joy with a mixture of longingRead more

And then there were Three

November 15, 2021December 1, 2021 - Margaret 10 Comments

Saying goodbye to Brave Boo Last week we had to say goodbye to our faithful old poodle Boo. At the age of almost twelve he became seriously unwell and we made the difficult decision to ask the vet to help him along on his final journey. He had suffered for at least four years withRead more

Patience may be a virtue but …

Heidi the motorhome was announced ready for pick up by Cleveland Motorhomes and we drove down to Darlington keen to get a few days away. The pick up wasn’t straightforward. They waved us a cheery goodbye and we drove up the road only to discover a sinister clunking noise every time we changed gear. BackRead more

Getting to know you …

July 28, 2021July 28, 2021 - Margaret 11 Comments

Heidi the motorhome has been a member of the family for a few weeks and we’re reminded that it takes quite a while to get used to a different van. So far we have repeatedly forgotten to turn the fridge from gas, to 12v to electric depending on where we are at the time becauseRead more

Time for a change

June 2, 2021June 2, 2021 - Margaret 37 Comments

Hi folks! It’s been a while but …. we have some big news! We’ve sold Holly, our lovely motorhome and bought an entirely different one. After years of looking at them longingly we have bought a Hymer A Class. Before you imagine that we have suddenly come into a massive amount of money I shouldRead more

Feeling the Heat in the Highlands

August 28, 2020February 19, 2022 - Margaret 9 Comments

The North West of Scotland is famous for its beauty, its changeable weather and its midges. The sorry truth is that the warmer it is, the more the midges come out to play. Fortunately we had stocked up with Smidge in Fort William so we were relatively safe from their wicked, itchy ways. I mentionRead more

Falling in Love Again … the Call of the Road

August 14, 2020February 19, 2022 - Margaret 21 Comments

Holly the motorhome was SORNed for four months during the lockdown. We thought she wouldn’t mind after our dash through northern Spain and France to get home before lockdown but she’s a grumpy old girl and registered her objection with a dead starter battery. As soon as she was on the road we got herRead more

Shake, Rattle and Roll

March 12, 2020March 1, 2022 - Margaret 4 Comments

Eventually we get used to the thing that happens when we move on from a place we’ve really enjoyed. We always get this huge pang of ambivalence – we love to travel, to find new places and experience the freedom of the road and at the same time we feel a little sad leaving ourRead more
