I’ll admit it. I’m having withdrawals from Europe. We just ran out of time under the 90 day EU rule. With a month still to go before our trip ends, I’m feeling a little robbed […]

2019 Day 105 – Portsmouth
Well, we’re back in the UK, spinning our wheels until Monday, until the motorhome workshop appointment. It’s taking a moment to recalibrate. Himself is keeping up a steady chant of “keep to the left” while […]
2019 Day 76 – Lost in transit and thoughts
It’s an unavoidable fact, that in a large country, we’d lose a day driving. The morning disappears to chores, the afternoon to driving. They take a bit of adjusting to, the long distances in Poland. […]
2019 Day 15 – Off to France

Miraculously, we both wake without effect from the celebrations of yesterday. I did wonder, after that second martini, if there’d be a price to pay. Today zips along at a very different pace, visiting the […]
2019 Day 9 – Birthday celebrations in London
Right! We’re up! And on a plan London bound! A short train ride later we’re there. Always extraordinary, the difference between city and country. Upheld by centuries of history, London stands majestically before us. And […]
