Forget Normal …

March 19, 2020 - Margaret 10 Comments

I finished the last blog post with a sign off as we sat at the check in gates for the ferry in Dieppe with our passports at the ready. At that point I imagined that this particular trip was all but over and there would be little else to report. It was only a shortRead more

A Safe Harbour

March 18, 2020 - Margaret 16 Comments

I don’t suppose we were the only ones to be shocked by the speed and ferocity that the Coronavirus spread through the world. We woke up one morning less than a week ago and realised that we would need to head north quickly as Spain and France began to report a frightening increase in theRead more

Shake, Rattle and Roll

March 12, 2020 - 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

Zaragoza City and Shuffling on to Sitges

March 5, 2020March 9, 2020 - Margaret 8 Comments

We left Medinaceli and drove to Zaragoza, stopping briefly in Calatayud to visit a supermarket. Parking in supermarket car parks was one of the things we were worried about before we left, given the extra length with the trailer on board. For most of the trip this hasn’t been a problem, we’ve just made sureRead more

Historic Buildings, Mountain Air and Long Hot Showers

February 25, 2020February 25, 2020 - Margaret 4 Comments

Leaving Bathala, we decided to head East towards Spain. The decision was made partly on the weather forecast as we noted that going north through Portugal could involve some very cold nights as we crossed into Spain. Another thing that swung our decision was the novelty factor. We would be crossing into Spain on aRead more

Onwards and Upwards

February 17, 2020 - Margaret 12 Comments

We spent five nights in the campsite at Zambujeira do Mar and felt more than a little reluctant to move on but in the end the call of the road won and we set off north in the direction of Alcaçer do Sol. Portuguese roads can be rough. This is a Yorkshire understatement. There areRead more

Tales of the Unexpected

January 30, 2020January 31, 2020 - Margaret 10 Comments

You’ll have heard the expression ‘Travel broadens the mind’. I must confess that until this trip I’ve never fully understood it – after all you can get your mind broadened by doing a course at a local college or reading a good book. Travel, I thought, gives you the chance to experience new places andRead more

Celebrations and Canine Confrontations

January 16, 2020January 24, 2020 - Margaret 10 Comments

Just a few days after New Year is my birthday. As the day approached Shirley asked me what I would like and I answered straight away… Electricity! We had been well over a month using only 12v and solar power, which works fine for the majority of the van’s needs but there are a coupleRead more

Sitges and Beyond

November 14, 2019 - Margaret 10 Comments

Four nights and five days in Sitges was like a little holiday. That might seem strange, after all we’re effectively in the first month of a several month holiday, or so it might appear. In reality, life on the road doing a long tour just becomes normal life. We think about where we will buyRead more

Culture in Catalonia

November 12, 2019 - Margaret 5 Comments

We parked up in Cami de la Creu, a commercial motorhome park in Cabanes near Figueres. It’s a strange place, almost like camping in someone’s front garden – although to be fair the garden is enormous and nicely surrounded by tall pines. Here you can avail yourself of all necessary services with the added luxuryRead more
