Always looking for our next adventure. Any where; any how
Mid November, and we were having a lazy morning on a campsite in Norfolk. Keith was reading the paper and I was writing the blog. “Have we got any weekends free in December” he asks? “Errr no way” I reply – “what about any free days?” he counteracts. I look up and can almost see […]
Read More Prague Christmas Market 2017Day 3 Keith and I got an Uber from our Boston city apartment to the airport, leaving Mum and Alec to finish their packing and have a quick clean up of our Air BnB. We weren’t abandoning them, we just felt the process of hiring our Rental car would be quicker and easier as a […]
Read More New England in the Fall; a 2 day Roadtrip through VermontWednesday Wednesday dawned a beautiful morning and we were up and away before 10 heading up the coast to New Quay for our dolphin trip. New Quay is such a pretty little Harbour town- there is a large reasonably priced car park at the top and you can walk down the fairly steep but very […]
Read More Go West for Summer – Part 6Ever since Keith and I got together 7 years ago- one (along with many others!) mutual bucket list adventure we wanted to achieve was attending The Royal Military Tattoo in Edinburgh. 10 years ago I spent an entire summer up in Edinburgh playing in a Fringe Show, and Keith's dousing has lived up here for […]
Read More Edinburgh Military Tattoo, Aug 5th 2017For the last five years we've had to endure driving past signs for the Old Buckenham Airshow knowing we were unable to go because of other diary commitments or us taking our holidays too early. This year however our diary was full of local commitments so for the last 6 weeks or so we've been […]
Read More Old Buckenham Air Show ReviewRuby the campervan is parked up alongside Gillside Beck- we arrived here yesterday, Friday, after a fairly longish journey from our Loch Ness Brit Stop. The reason for departing Scotland a day early is stood proudly behind us, and frankly looks scary as hell- perhaps that’s where the name Helvellyn comes from! For a couple […]
Read More Our annual Pilgrimage to Scotland Part 3: A quick stopover at the Lake DistrictTuesday We had such a peaceful night at the foot of the Cuillin Hills and slept like logs! Unfortunately when we woke up it was still not great weather wise, so we wasted no time in packing up and hitting the road. We made a quick stop at the Spar shop in Broadford before taking […]
Read More Our annual pilgrimage to Scotland, May 2017. Part 2. Wester RossThursday (into Friday!) Ruby the campervan is parked up at our favourite Scotland Border crossing, Carter Bar, just before Jedburgh. It’s 00:30 (Friday morning) and we were working until 7pm in Thetford. It’s been a funny ol week, we’ve battled illness, workload and a new (unplanned!) motor for Ruby’s habitation sliding door, but somehow we’ve […]
Read More Our annual pilgrimage to Scotland, May 2017. Part 1. Norfolk to SkyeRuby the campervan is parked up alongside 4 caravans on a very pleasant Camping and Caravan Certifed site, The Briar, just south of Ipswich. The main draw for us to visit this area, is Alton Water, a man made reservoir complete with cycle path around the circumference. The Briar is a lovely grassy CL situated […]
Read More A cheeky night away in Constable’s Country, Suffolk May 13th 2017*TBT (Throw Back Thursday!) Those of you who saw yesterday’s blog post will realise we’ve been a tad preoccupied of late. So this morning as I was following our zombie like early morning routine, it took me quite by surprise to see a tiny white flower standing proudly underneath our apple tree. It feels like […]
