The key saga continues!

After our initial 27 day wait for a replacement key to arrive the saga still continues. When we eventually received our replacement firstly they only provided one key and not a set of keys so we are having to be extra extra cautious with it (although I did accidentally leave it in my handbag on the…

The Cheesy Costa Brava?

Stunning Sitges & Beautiful Barcelona

After a quick pit stop at Benicassim on route where the aire was located right next to the main trunk road so didn’t appeal as a stopover, we headed further north to Sitges a pretty coastal town about 30 south of Barcelona.

After a quick whizz around Lidl’s to stock up on provisions (after all we’d had to empty the fridge and throw everything away), after filling up with fuel, gas and water we were…

27 Days in Limbo

Yes you read that right – 27 days to sort out replacement keys for Boris!!! Unbelievable!! We both feel drained from this recent episode, but that’s not surprising as we have spent every day the last 27 telephoning insurance companies, the AA, the storage compound where Boris is located all to try and get answers…

4 tow trucks, 2 hotels, 10 days and still counting!

Well firstly apologies for not updating our blog over the last couple of weeks. We have had quite an “adventurous” time and one that we don’t want to repeat.
