I think I might have a new favourite city. Luxembourg City is beautiful… so much to see and so many green spaces. Mind you we have been lucky to see it in glorious sunshine ☀️ Instead of writing about what we’ve seen, I’ve decided to include a larger than usual gallery of labelled images of... Continue Reading →
After a peaceful night... well... as peaceful as it gets when John has a bad dream and hits out at me!... we woke to a chilly, frosty morning. The sunshine soon melted it though and we've had a lovely 13 kilometre hike with some amazing views. The first main view point was from a tower... Continue Reading →
We were woken early by the traffic in Dinant, a small price to pay for a free overnight parking spot. Unfortunately this meant we couldn’t be bothered to wait around for the citadel to open. Maybe we'll go on our way home. We set of for Walzin Castle instead, and enjoyed a pleasant riverside walk... Continue Reading →
We’ve had an interesting day today, visiting Wallonia and finding out a little about Belgium’s industrial heritage. First we went to The Grand Hornu, a beautiful architectural complex dating from the Industrial Revolution. The Grand Hornu is a former colliery, and a new town project that was built to include the miners’ residential district, as... Continue Reading →
We had a lovely evening with Ann, Nick and Eddie, which ended with us booking tickets for Y Not Festival in July, probably thanks to 3 bottles of wine! Then, this morning, we headed to Dover in plenty of time to catch the ferry at 2 o’clock. Dartford Crossing As we were travelling, news reports... Continue Reading →
I’m bored. I had very little work on today so I’ve had plenty of time to complete the final preparations for our holiday. After visiting my mum and dad at lunchtime, I’ve done the shopping, emptied the washing machine and dishwasher, watered the plants and packed the food into the van. Now I’m just waiting...

We woke up early… well, John did. And at 6.30 he started talking to me so I was awake too. As we drank our cup of tea, we could see the mist in the valley, through the trees, so we decided to get up and go for a walk. It was freezing outside but we... Continue Reading →
After all the rain yesterday, we were pleased to wake up to sunshine. We had breakfast and sorted Bertie, emptying bins and the toilet and filling the water, ready for a few nights off grid. Ou first stop was Killicrankie where we’d planned to walk up Craig Fonvuick. Although, it isn’t particularly high, the views... Continue Reading →
Google Maps said today's journey would be 5 and a half hours, but it was more like 8 hours. We're used to journeys taking longer than predicted in Bertie, especially with toilet and food breaks added in, but it did seem a particularly long day. The motorway through Germany was very busy and there were... Continue Reading →
This was the last proper day of our holiday as the next 3 days will be spent travelling home. It was a lovely morning, so we took our first morning brew down to the pier. The campsite was still quiet and we stayed for a while, enjoying the tranquility. We’d booked an extra night and... Continue Reading →
