Back on the road again
2nd – 6th January 2017 We have really surprised ourselves recently for staying in one place for 12 whole days!!!! for enjoying a stay on a campsite!!! Our experience of campsites generally had not been good – always a little too cheesy for our liking and regimented, but we have actually found one we like…

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…
