After my evening sleep yesterday, I woke early, pleased my headache had gone. I edited my photos from Keukenhof until John was awake too, then made him a cup of tea in bed. Then, before long we left to visit Alkmaar where there’s a famous cheese market or kaasmarkt. We had a bit of drama... Continue Reading →
Today didn’t quite go as expected! We woke early and instead of heading to Keukenhof Gardens first thing, we went to the nearest Knaus motorhome and caravan dealers about 20 minutes away. We were forced into this change of plan because the carbon monoxide alarm suddenly sounded whilst we were watching a film before bed.... Continue Reading →
Today we’ve had a lovely day exploring the old university town of Leiden. We woke at 8.10 after a great night’s sleep...

Afterwards, we washed, dressed and had breakfast , then we packed the van. We were amazed how easily everything fitted in... our... Continue Reading →
John and I are looking forward to our first full road trip in Bertie Boxlife over Easter, sailing from Hull to Rotterdam and spending 2 weeks exploring The Netherlands. We've been very busy for the past few months and we're looking forward to winding down... lie ins, reading, crochet, films and food. Amongst other things,... Continue Reading →
On New Year’s Eve, we decided to stay in Saundersfoot so we’d be able to see the fireworks at midnight and would be near to Bertie Boxlife after our dip in the sea, to get warm and dry afterwards. We had a delicious meal in The Mulberry then went back to the van, where I... Continue Reading →
