  • Betty’s fruit cake

    Years ago I was working in Burtons and on a quite day I was talking to a fellow employee, a lovely lady called Betty about baking, and I said “I never make cakes, I can’t,” and she said, “I’ll give you a recipe that you can make that’s foolproof,” and she did and it is, …

  • Little Road trip to El Puerto de Santa Maria

    So we set off on our little road trip in a 24 year old convertible Renault 19, no air conditioning and a recently acquired reluctance to start. We took the A7 from our house near to Castillo on the Costa Del Sol, up to Algeciras, and the inevitable traffic jam, the roofs off and it’s …

  • Fire in the hold

    Unfortunately it seems my illustration of Milly on fire turned  out to be a little prophetic. I did actually yesterday start a very little fire in the van, and despite my defence, citing my son and husband and Milly herself, as the culpable parties, the jury didn’t appear to be on my side.

I thought Cleethorpes was quite nice, we stayed at s campsite next to the show ground, and the light coastal railway station. The fare …

  • And so to Withernsea

    We’d booked into a large commercial site at Withernsea for 2 nights, and it was within walking distance from the town, what could possibly go wrong? On the way we popped into Hornsea which looked quite nice, but shut, it was bank holiday Monday. So we went to the outlet shopping centre there to stock …

  • April fool

    So after I received a pinch and a punch, and retaliated with a pinch and a kick, I turfed the old man out of bed to turn the heating up. He got back in, and after a few minutes he said that there must be at least 4” of snow outside, “I thought it wasn’t …

  • Whitby

    The rain continued all last night and Steve had trouble getting off the muddy site. We tried to take the road across the moor but it was blocked by a fallen tree, so we continued on the main roads, where the rain turned to occasional sleet, and then back to rain. Steve, somewhat over optimistically …
