We decided we were over due a few day’s relaxation so decided to pop to Wellington’s for a few days. We were having problems with our hot water, so a place with a shower was a bonus. The weather was amazing, warm, sunny and no wind. We arrived and out of 60ish pitches there were …

After some subtle nudging by my lovely husband about the fact that I had gone to Belfast without him a few years ago, I caved and booked a few days away together. We got up early and arrived at Gatwick to fly to the Emerald Isle on a half empty plane. We landed equally early …

My wonderful husband treated me to a great weekend in London. The hotel room on the south bank had stunning views from the 15th floor (although the lift made some interesting noises). The room was lovely, with all the mod cons, including mood lighting it took us a while to figure out. First day was …

Well we have travelled all over the UK but never stayed in Kent, so we popped to a place near Jez’s sister in Meopham to watch the children in the Remembrance parade and visit Leeds Castle. What should have been a simple few days turn out to be a bit more varied than expected. Firstly …

We decided to visit the Cardigan Bay Area to see what it had to offer. We stayed in a cute little one room cottage in St Dogmael up a very steep hill. It was small but perfectly formed. cardigan is a lovely area with a good range of shops and lovely beach, river and countryside …

As we had a cold and wet few days, in the van and on the boat, we decided to book ourselves into a nice hotel for a warm shower and a comfy bed. We stayed at the Beckford Inn in the Cotswolds. After getting warm, Jez was not very well, we wandered around Broadway, coming …

We picked up the boat about 2.30pm and after transferring all our gear and a very quick lesson in boat management, we set off towards Llangollen. On our very first day we had to navigate a long tunnel, over the very high Pontcysyllte aqueduct. Beautiful views, if not a bit nerve wracking. After a chilly …
