The morning sees us up and packed ready to depart Honfleur. If we haven’t a final destination in mind, we’ve settled on a direction. Logic dictates that we travel South, to ally the cool of […]
2024 – Days 12 – 13 Honfleur
At last. France bound on the ferry, our journey takes us from Portsmouth to Le Havre, a short drive away from our intended destination of Honfleur. And what an odd trip it is. Post Brexit, […]
2024 Days 1 – 11 Drama? Plenty of it
And so here we are, back in the UK. It’s taken four years to revisit what was once an annual pilgrimage. A lot has happened since. Our 2019 trip to Poland was to be the […]
2019 Day 143 – Yum cha, then home
In John Denver’s immortal words, our bags are packed, we’re ready to go… but there’s a very important task to do before we leave…yum cha! For all of its woes, social media is a wonderful […]

2019 Day 138 – Launceston
Freedom is within tantalising grasp. All it takes is a last push to pack the suitcases/ storage boxes and our work is done. Himself still has some motorhome wintering chores to complete on our last […]
2019 Day 137 – Ready or not, here we come
There’s an important task I need to check off this morning. Despite quite a few squirrelly encounters, I still have a few nuts about my person. Far be it from me to deprive a local […]
