19th – 28th December 2016 Having sampled some of the welcoming Christmas atmosphere in El Peurto de Santa Maria we were now starting to get a little bit more in the mood. Despite having blinged Boris up for Christmas with the best display of lights we could muster (given that we move around regularly), its…

A Look Back at Our Year
Two years ago we received some life changing news, the EU were introducing a new set of regulations which would totally change our business. After working our butts off for 10 years at the time we were reeling wondering what we were going to do. Having both worked since we were 16 years old, we…
The Cadiz Coastline
With the coast set firmly in our sights we followed the route back towards Seville and then onwards down toward Jerez De La Frontera stopping on the way for fuel and supplies. We arrived in the city of Jerez around lunchtime and headed for the parking area (which as is often the case in cities…
Sunny Seville & A Cowboy Town
8th – 12th December 2016 Another 190km journey took us from Merida into Seville (aire 12 Euro per night GPS 37.361988 – 5.994442) – the sunshine City and true to its reputation the sun was high in the sky upon on arrival with the temperature in the late teens – that’ll do nicely! After…
Back on the road and feeling right at home

Useful Or Not – With Hindsight What We Will Take & Leave Behind Next Time
Is this the million dollar question – it’s certainly one we’d have like someone to give us the answer to before we set off on our travels the 1st time. What exactly do we need to take and what do we leave behind. Now of course our list may be different to yours, but there…
In Limbo
Having taken Boris back to our dealers on 5th September we telephoned last week for a progress report and were told that he was likely to be with them for around another 6 weeks. This is due to the fact that they are having to wait for a replacement habitation door to be delivered from…
We need a holiday …..
After just 19 days back in the UK and we are both feeling like we need a holiday!! It must be all the partying whilst catching up with family and friends that’s taking it’s toll as we haven’t even started any real work yet. It feels like we’ve had an incredibly busy couple of weeks,…
Catching up back in Blighty
We’d booked an early ferry back from Calais to try and avoid any issues at the port. We were lucky and didn’t encounter any problems (although I was more than a little horrified to see the size of the “jungle”) and even managed to get straight onto an earlier ferry despite having booked the cheapest…
