Monday saw a grey start to the day again in the field in Catcott, but Buster and Jez were having a lovely time catching up with each other and their motorhome adventures. Jez, the Supersonic Adria was very happy as he had just found out that day, that Katherine and James were able to keep him, after finding an expat motor insurance for him. So, for Jez he will be heading back … [Read more...] about Busy Bees
2020-21 Adventure
UK and Explore
This is now the third week of our UK adventure, and we are really enjoying it. This week’s mix has been two Campsites and a CL site. Each has offered us new perspectives on what motorhoming is like in the UK. We have sort of got back into a rhythm and are meeting up with friends old and new as we travel. At East Fleet we were lucky to meet some people who have followed our … [Read more...] about UK and Explore
Plains, Lanes and ..…Jersey Potatoes
This is now our second week of travelling around the UK in Buster, (our wonderful Elddis Encore) and we have to say we are loving it. The weather has been as we expected -interesting and for this week while London was sunny, we here on Chesil beach have had a variety of weather, with a fair amount of sea mist and fog.

Test and disgrace, family and friends, back on the road.
When we left in January 2020, we had no idea that most of our planning and hopes would be a mirage. At the same time, we can only feel lucky to have been able to travel for the duration of the pandemic and our lockdowns were in warmer places. But like all good things it had to come to an end and with Brexit we had to return to the UK. We had attempted a visit at Christmas … [Read more...] about Test and disgrace, family and friends, back on the road.

Drifting Around
And that’s exactly what we have been doing this week, without much aim but with a general direction, which sees us ending this week with friends Darren and Johnny in Cabopino (Marbella) before hitting the road north on Monday and the last week of our overseas trip.

I’m Home and ……. Meanwhile back in Spain!
Hi there yes, it is I, ‘Pino’ with an update. When I last wrote in February it was to ask you all should I go with them to live in England. Well so what did I do? Well I am in England! Once I told them that I would go, it was back to the dreaded vet place for more of those ‘jections’ I think I mentioned that I now have a wonderful Spanish passport that allows me go to live … [Read more...] about I’m Home and …….

This Little Piggie Went to Market
And the little piggies and the huge big piggies as well probably did go to market, for we are well and truly in the jamon area north of Huelva, concentrating on the Sierra de Aracena. Valverde del Camino was a lovely free Aire spot, slightly noisy on a busy through road to Badajoz near the Portuguese border, and as David has already said, capital of riding boots for … [Read more...] about This Little Piggie Went to Market
