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... I hope there are lots more lie ins to come now we’ve finally relaxed and entered holiday mode. I fancied a croissant and coffee for brekkie so, after a cup of tea in... Continue Reading →
We actually managed a lie in today, probably because the campsite was quiet, my hot flushes didn't bother me too much, and we didn't have any firm plans to get up for. By the time we’d had a few cups of tea, a coffee and something to eat, and had done a few chores around... Continue Reading →
We woke early and decided to get going, and make our way to Delft. John had read that parking could be difficult so we thought it was a good idea to get there early and find somewhere suitable for the van. I’d researched car parks and found somewhere I thought would be suitable. However, when... Continue Reading →
Rubbish night's sleep... the ship was rolling on the sea and the bedside table was creaking for some reason so I tried moving my phone, iPad and bottle water but to no avail. Finally, I turned myself around so my head was sat the opposite end of the bed, away from the bedside table, and... Continue Reading →
We woke quite early, excited to begin our trip to The Netherlands. John made me a cup of tea and came up with Millie, who lay purring next to me on the bed. 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 →
On Saturday we travelled down to Pembrokeshire for 5 nights. It's our first proper road trip in Bertie Boxlife, so we can see what he's like in the winter. So far, so good. We’re having a lovely trip and we’re warm and cosy. On the way down we stopped at the bakery in Machynlleth for... Continue Reading →
Today we’ve walked up Mount Srd, which is over 400 metres high... not even half the height of a Snowdonia mountain, but high for around here, especially from sea level in a relatively short distance. Everyone looked at us as though we were mad walking up, because most people get the cable car. When John... Continue Reading →
