Even we motorhomers get caught up in the Christmas rush and hullabaloo especially when we are very fortunate enough to have 10 family and friends visiting for Christmas and us wanting like everyone to make it as special as possible. The weather as you all will know was against us and had caused much devastation to the area of Murcia where we were to spend this period. It’s … [Read more...] about Turkey Stuffing

The serious side of traveling.
As we have travelled around Spain for the past year we have moaned a bit about the weather. We found that the sun doesn't always shine here. In fact we think that on a third of the days since we arrived last January it has rained. All very interesting but nothing prepared us for the devastating rain experience we have had over the past few days. Not for us thankfully but for … [Read more...] about The serious side of traveling.
50 Shades of Grey!
Mon 12/12/16: After a night parked on the road like the poor relations, or keeping it current –no room at the inn, in this case Rincon de la Victoria, Malaga we headed slightly further on down the road to find a new home. For whatever reason not only was the day grey but moods were as well and we just couldn’t agree on where to park at all and ended up on a camp … [Read more...] about 50 Shades of Grey!
Surfs Up!
Mon 05/12/16: The rain welcomed in the day again for us and we watched from the vans windows as the rain kept on falling making the sand beneath us very heavy and clingy. No point us going anywhere for the moment and so we caught up on some more admin bits and phone calls etc. So bad was the rain that the local school in the area was closed for the day and the sports arena had … [Read more...] about Surfs Up!

Frango Frenzy
Sun 27/11/16: Waking up to yet another very wet morning suddenly seemed to inspire some temporary madness- if there’s no sun in Spain perhaps there is in the Algarve and so after a quick google so it would seem there was. So with Spain raining and frowning upon us so we headed to the Portuguese border just some 50 miles away. But our fate was in the hands of … [Read more...] about Frango Frenzy
Pukka Pies
Mon 21/11/16: After a very wet rainy night the day started grey as well with weak sunshine trying it’s best to prevail and so we headed off to the nearby port for 2nd coffee and to decide what options there were for the day for us to do. As we drank our coffee the weak sunshine seemed to be winning over the grey clouds and we decided as we were armed with para-aquas to walk … [Read more...] about Pukka Pies
Sore Bums & Full Tums
Mon 14/11/16: With David tearing me off Alison and Cath’s (Beasties) ankles we bade a tearful farewell on my part anyway, but my despair was soon lifted by an earring purchase just along the way (sorry Cath, found the market in the end!) and we collected NiKi from its service in one piece and he positively hummed along the route into the countryside just down from … [Read more...] about Sore Bums & Full Tums
