2024 Day 83 – Trauma with the Truma
Those of you who’ve been following along from the start of this trip will know of the troubles we’ve encountered leaving the motorhome in storage for four years. Then the clutch went, a month or […]
2024 Day 82 – Hunspach
Some places are picture postcard pretty – Egiusheim and Riquewihr certainly come to mind. Brightly coloured, flush with blooms, they’re the peacocks of French village life. Hunspach meanwhile is a white swan, serene and elegant, […]

We bid adieu to lovely Beaune. It would be easy to stay. A wine degustation tomorrow, another lunch perhaps. A stroll through the Sunday brocante in the search for a new piece to add to […]

Ah the lovely Beaune. Set in the heart of Bourgogne, it never fails to delight. Beaune’s ancient centre bustles with restaurants and shops but its true soul lies in winemaking. It’s also famed for its […]
