Its a new year and we've once again been absent for a while, hibinating like bears. We haven't been up to an awful lot over the winter, but we're hoping thats going to change in the up coming months. We decided to have a little jaunt in Trevor the Motorhome at the end of January, … Continue reading Its Nearly Spring 2023!!!

Garden Tidy Up
The other day I looked out of the bedroom window and actually cringed at the mess the garden was in. As we had had most of our veggies and fruits for the year, it had been left and ignored and I felt so disappointed with myself. There was the raised bed cover that we hadn’t … Continue reading Garden Tidy Up
On the Move
I’ve once again not posted for such a long time, but in all honesty we didn’t really have much to report. Until now! We have not quite given up on the idea of converting the sprinter which is still currently sat on the front garden, but we were more than ready to start going away. … Continue reading On the Move
The Garden, Van and a Trip to Wales
I have been writing this post for weeks and every time I come back to it the garden has changed again. I really need to be a bit more consistent with writing but honestly life just gets in the way sometimes. So please forgive the pictures being a bit out of date. The pea trellis … Continue reading The Garden, Van and a Trip to Wales
The Slow Road
Hello! Sorry we haven't written anything for a while, but its all been a little slow going. We have been doing our best to source new doors. All the doors are rusted through, and we have managed to find the cab doors and the back doors, but we still haven't found the side sliding door … Continue reading The Slow Road
Wham Bam Thank You Van

Tony got up on top of the van and covered up the vent and sky light, with … Continue reading Wham Bam Thank You Van
The Camper Van Challenge
In our last post we told you all that we had made the decision to buy a van and convert it into a camper. From making that decision we scoured websites and social media sites for all van sales. Well our dream has started to become a reality as we have now purchased our Van!! … Continue reading The Camper Van Challenge
Acorns and Chestnuts
I've been feeling a bit redundant in the garden since winter has hit. With not a lot to do except a bit of tidying and rubbish weather, there really isn't much to write about. We haven't been on any walks or built anything either, so its all quiet here. Although we have Tony's acorns starting … Continue reading Acorns and Chestnuts
Pumpkin Pie
As you all know by now, I Love pumpkins! 😂 In fact, I love anything Autumn. The flavours, the foods and the colours. What better seasonal food is there than pumpkin? And the first thing that many think of, is pumpkin pie. I have always wanted to try pumpkin pie, but it was always something … Continue reading Pumpkin Pie
New Raised Beds
After our semi failed attempt at growing potatoes in sacks, we had to have a think on how best we could try growing them next year. We wanted to have a bigger harvest, and growing in sacks wasn't really working for us. We talked about maybe rotavating the strip of garden next to the hedge … Continue reading New Raised Beds
