My phone this week has been coming up with some great photo collages from the trip, so while we rest for the last three weeks before it all finishes on the 16th of October we take look back in wonder at the past in photos. If you have any questions about the trip or the photos drop us a line. January 2020 We picked up 'Buster' in Tyne Valley Motorhomes, Rachel and Emma … [Read more...] about Looking Back in Wonder – Part 1 Jan – Jun 2020

All Fizzed Out
The best way to start a tour of champagne is of course with a bit of royalty, and where could be worthier than Versailles. With so many plans abated for so many over the past few, unbelievably now years- it was with near astonishment when with David and I checking into the hotel at Versailles that my brother David, Chris and Claire walked in behind us for brother David’s … [Read more...] about All Fizzed Out
The Bear Brittany
Time does fly, it is unrelenting, yet another week is over for us, and the end of the adventure does loom now. Yes, there is an end, we return to the UK on the 14th October and will meet up with our friends at Elddis on the 1st of November. By that time, we will have been on the road 94 weeks, who could have dreamed how the world would change from that day in January … [Read more...] about The Bear Brittany
Moules and More
More mussels in fact were the order of this week, as it happens-very scrumptious too. We are still in Brittany and of course Brittany is famous for all things crustacean wise, with mussels being sold in more or less every establishment in the region, in many different sauces. The main one way of course being moules mariniere, and oddly in the majority of the restaurants it’s … [Read more...] about Moules and More
Tart of the Week
This time last week we were in Wales and attempting to climb Snowdon but it was cool and raining, we had not brought the necessary UK travel gear we had bought (yes the wet gear) but we persisted and had a pleasant but damp walk over half way up but the mountain was covered in mist so we beat a retreat back to our base at Betws-y-Coed to find it was bathed in sunshine, such is … [Read more...] about Tart of the Week
Rain or Shine
We have had a particularly lovely week this week despite saying our fond farewells to various relatives we have been able to meet up with on our travels back from the Dorset area. The weather has as ever been mixed, but as the saying goes “you don’t go to England for the weather” and of course you all had a decent Covid summer last year. That said we did manage to start the … [Read more...] about Rain or Shine
Cat Nap or is it Home Already
This week we have been house sitting with Pino and happy he seems too. Our adopted cat has settled into UK life very well though the local mouse and shrew population are not so enamoured with his arrival! We have been living in a house for the first time in over a year and a half and that is very odd as well. Though ‘Buster’ has had a great clean out and is ready for the … [Read more...] about Cat Nap or is it Home Already
Busy Bees
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
