It's chilly but bright as we vacate the pitch and empty out using the newly fitted remote control valve.
Cheddar Gorge is almost empty as we drive down through. Two years ago this road was a bit of a challenge but after the places Mary*Lou has taken us since then it's just another bit of tarmac.

This is our third year of travels in our motorhome. After two lengthy tours to Europe last year, we hope to do even more, continuing to travel without a definite plan, stopping where the mood takes us on a mixture of farms, vineyards, aires and formal sites.
Mrs Gump told Forrest 'life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you get'. It's a bit like that for us, we never quite know what we'll see and who we'll meet but it's all part of life's rich tapestry. And when we …

Mrs Gump told Forrest 'life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you get'. It's a bit like that for us, we never quite know what we'll see and who we'll meet but it's all part of life's rich tapestry. And when we find the odd bit that isn't so good, hey-ho we just move on again to the next bit of freedom, adventure and fun.
So sit back, buckle up and share our ride, and feel free to leave your comments.

A patchy sky and cool breeze this morning. It looks like it might rain but we decide to wander along to the village anyway.

Not as sunny as yesterday but no rain forecast. We also discover the Sunday bus service is no good. At 11:30 we set off down Weeke Lane again for the walk into Dartmouth and meet N+G by the …
Ali, Nick and Grete walk into Dartmouth while NW goes ahead by bike to get his boat ready. Weeke Lane appears much more overgrown and narrow compared with our last time here [Easter 2013 with…

Hi I messaged you on Facebook about a journey to the Czech Republic. We’re planning to go via Dresden and return via Vienna, but thinking it might be too much as we want to include the romantic road,, Bertechsgarten, Lake Constance, Black Forest, Maybe this is two trips and not one?

O dear - Norovirus hit the land cruise. Balmoral has a similar problem. Three day cruise cancelled whilst they had a real big deep clean and gave the ship a chance to get rid of it.
Sorry we are not there to soothe your fevered brow. xxx

When we were there last year the hand made lace and knitting sellers were in a different place to where they were when we were all there in 2007. They were at various levels on the steps leading up from the seaward end of the harbour to the back of the Cathedral. The prices were still very good - we bought a hand made table covering for Nicola and Steve for 20 e..
The pigeons must have been warned thatyou were looking for revenge as there were hordes of the when we were there

Surprised you didn't go into Cartagena as it is 8 years since you were there and they have finished excavating the theatre and have opened it to the public. It is quite impressive. Rest of Cartagena would have been open- it was closed last time you were there

So Spain not too different from France then - most things closed on the day you want them. As to the proliferation of citrus, have you read Driving Over Lemons by Chris Stewart, on moving to live in Spain. Good book.
Brilliant blog, and fantastic photos. Love it.
Big hugs, guys xxxxxx
