• 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.

  • Cleethorpes

    We left the CL and headed down to the Humber bridge and into Lincolnshire. On the coast again we skirted round Grimsby, and on to Cleethorpes. Somewhere else I’d never been.

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 …

    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 …

  • Scarborough fair

    So, Millys inaurgural voyage, starts off and yesterday we visited Scarborough, leaving her in the campsite and taking the bus in. Steve checked out the bus timetable which gave 3 options, Mon to Fri, Sat, or Sunday’s and public holidays. Well, with it being good Friday we sort of assumed that that one whould apply. …

  • Tram Ride Through Prague

    In November we packed up our thermal vests and woolly hats and headed up for 4 nights in Prague. We visited the castle, and rode up on the funny peculiar. I’ve never seen so many bars and we were keen to sample the traditional Czech dishes, which invariably included dumplings, and included rich beefy stews, …
