This Christmas we headed to a cottage in Gloucester for a cosy week away with Tom’s family. We packed far too much food and drink into the car, grabbed our warm layers and headed up to the Cotswolds to relax for the week. We started the road trip with a Starbucks – as every good … More Christmas in Gloucester
On our penultimate day in Croatia we woke up to more blue skies and calm seas – perfect for a day of sailing! We left our mooring in Vrboska and headed out to sea.

We departed the beautiful island of Vis early(ish) in the morning after an excellent slap-up breakfast cooked by our skipper.

As you’ll know if you’re a regular reader, we (well, mainly Tom) converted a Renault Trafic into a campervan last year, and we’ve put it to good use this summer! This year we invested in a sheltaPod as an addition to the van – and after testing it out over the past few months, I … More sheltaPod – The Ultimate Campervan Awning
Back in August (which feels like so long ago now!) we headed across to the Isle of Wight for a week away in our camper van. We always go to the Isle of Wight for Cowes Week, but this time we planned a longer trip away, with more time to explore the island. We caught … More A Week Away Camping in Cowes, Isle of Wight
A couple of months ago, we set off for a weekend away camping with friends. Our destination for the weekend was Dot’s Field in the New Forest, near Fordingbridge.
