The end of the year!

As 2018 draws to a close, Keith and I (and Jazzy of course!) would like to wish you all a very Happy and Healthy New Year! Thank you for following our adventures – we never imagined that our tales would be read in so many places across the world; our site stats are growing each […]

Winter adventures and Festive Fun; York

Ruby the VW Campervan is parked up on her lonesome at Granchester Caravan Park on the outskirts of York. We’ve had a busy week of concerts and Christmas gigs, but come 3pm on Thursday it was instruments down and time to declare the Christmas holiday OPEN. Our final gig of the season was handily located […]

Winter Adventures and festive fun; London Part 2

Saturday arrived after another really great sleep- the Crystal Palace campsite is so incredibly quiet, despite being in so close to the centre of London. We enjoyed a quick egg bap for breakfast before doing some house keeping- Keefy emptied the loo & refilled the water whilst I did the washing up. By 10.30 we […]

Winter Adventures and festive fun; London Part 1

Ruby the VW campervan is parked up almost directly underneath the Crystal Palace transmitter mast and she’s experiencing a sense of deja vu. It been just over 6 months since we last visited this campsite, and we booked this mini break almost as we departed back in June. Since June, the Camping and Motorhome’s Crystal […]

Winter adventures and festive fun; Part 1

Since we got home from America, it’s been full on with work as we’ve had a show production as well as our normal teaching routine. As soon as the show was over I was itching to get out for some fresh air, and luckily my lovely husband had preempted this and prebooked some tickets to […]

Adventures Stateside; A Texas Roadtrip. San Antonio

We arrived at our final air b n b on the outskirts of San Antonio just after 6pm. We had a quick shower and requested an Uber- we were keen to get into the centre of town and have an evening out with no rain! Our Uber dropped us outside the Alamo. It was all […]

Adventures Stateside; A Texas Roadtrip. Austin and Hill Country

Tuesday morning arrived and it was time to hit the road once more, waving farewell to Fort Worth. As we had changed our route, staying local ‘rather’ than the 500 mile drive to Big Bend National Park, we decided to take the ‘scenic route’ to Austin – basically leaving the interstate behind and travelling on […]

Adventures Stateside; A Texas Roadtrip. Dallas and Fort Worth

Friday After a pleasant 4 hour journey from Houston along Interstate no 45, we arrived at our next Air b n b, Sunshine cottage, in the affluent, leafy area of Hollywood Dallas. Our host had made the apartment cosy and full of goodies. After a chill and a shower, we decided to stay quite local […]

Adventures Stateside; A Texas Roadtrip. Houston

Ruby the VW Campervan is parked up at a Heathrow hotel for half term. We decided to take advantage of the January flight sales, bagging some cheap seats to Houston, TX, enabling us to tick off a few more items off our ever expanding bucket list. Wednesday Despite travelling down late after work on Tuesday […]

Ruby takes a prang

Isn’t it funny how your body copes with shock? Some people lash out, some people cry and sob, some people go numb. I’m guilty of all of those, but last Thursday I experienced a new reaction to a huge shock- absolute disgust and despair then this feeling that I was going to faint! This was […]
