March 26th – Behind the scenes heros

Today’s image focuses on our beautiful countryside, and the farming communities that keep food on our shelves. During the Covid-19 crisis, the NHS staff on the front-line rightly get a lot of thoroughly deserved praise and recognition from Government and the media for the fantastic work they do for those poor souls that have beenContinue reading “March 26th – Behind the scenes heros”

March 25th – Another weird day down….

As we close the day, living in this strange new physically isolated world, I hope you’re all well. We are keeping ourselves busy, as having come back from our trip around Europe there is plenty to do. We are very fortunate to have great neighbours, and we have had a few 2-3 meter chats overContinue reading “March 25th – Another weird day down….”

March 24th – Chilling in the spring sunshine

Callie says ‘Hi’ from our back garden. It has been a bright spring day, and she has had a great time playing ball, eating and snoozing in the sun.

SHOUT is a charity to help people that are having a crisis, but without having to talk, instead theyContinue reading “March 21st – SHOUT”

March 19th – So close…..

As we park up in a motorway Aire for hopefully our final night on our trip (albeit finishing 10 days early than planned), I reflect back on our experience over the last eight plus weeks with a mix of very fond and weird memories. One of the weird ones happened today: We took the 4Continue reading “March 19th – So close…..”

March 17th – Solitude…..

After an exhausting drive yesterday, more news came through from various friends about a complete lock-down in France, and so we headed for the nearest supermarket to get essentials, Beer, wine …. No I jest, water, tinned veg, packet soups, dog food etc. Being in a motorhome is fab, but you are a little limitedContinue reading “March 17th – Solitude…..”
