We are officially in Scotland. I didn’t expect it to be much different to England, but it is. It’s become very mountainous and heavily forested with lots of fernery. So pretty. The colour are stunning […]
Day Forty Five
I think today is officially the halfway mark. I think we are way for about 92 days, but with flights I think it’s half way, or thereabouts. Today is a bit of a non event. […]
Day Forty Four
We are near the town of Whitehaven, which was once a major port, then a mining town until the the Thatcher years, and now…well now it looks a little sad. It’s clear that the town […]
A tyre leak, a deer and red squirrels
On the move again, further north again to the Western Lakes District in Cumbria. We have to fix a slow leak in one of the tyres along the way – not a puncture but a […]

Day Forty One

Day Thirty Eight
Exploring day. We take off to see two of the local villages that are part of the Lakes District. It’s very pretty where we are, with both lake and seaside options. The first town we […]
Day Thirty Seven
Rain rain go away, come back another day. It is, in case you haven’t guessed, raining. A bit of a wake up call after the wonderful balmy summer weather of the past month. We wake […]
