We’re in the Chilterns, an area of England designated for its outstanding natural beauty. Dotted amongst the greenery is one charming village after the other, interspersed with an impressive number of manor houses. Throwing caution […]
2019 Day 107 – Hughenden
We leave the motorhome to its fate this morning, waiting on a verdict: can the window mechanism can be repaired on the spot, or if a new motor needs to be ordered. While we wait, […]
2019 Day 106 – Dapdune Wharf
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 104 – Honfleur, UK Bound
Our last day in France. It always make me a little melancholy, leaving. As much as I love England (and I really do), it’s France that holds my heart. The afternoon will see us driving […]
2019 Day 103 – Le Bec-Hellouin and Honfleur

It’s time. With our ferry booked for Friday, we need to make the last long drive, pushing north towards Honfleur. At over 200 kilometres, the drive takes most of the day. We drive through endless […]
2019 Day 101 – Amboise
One of the lovely things about the Loire Valley is how close everything is – Amboise, our destination today, is just a short hop from Tours. Home of the Chateau Royal, Amboise is recognised as […]
2019 Day 100 – Tours
Day 100. Wow! That somehow went simultaneously quickly and slowly. And yes, I see the issue there. We’re spending it in Tours, our second visit, having popped in to visit our lovely friends when they […]
2019 Day 99 – Langeais and Lignieres-de-Touraine
After yesterday’s Chateau’s loveliness, we decide to try our luck with a second. Langeais, only a few kilometres away fits right bill perfectly. Set on the Loire, the sneak preview on our map looks very […]
