January 26th – New passport

My new passport arrived this morning (not that I’ll be using it anytime soon), but at least it’s here, as the old one would have expired in August 21. Obviously, it is different from the old EU one, but you’ll be pleased to know that the photo in it is as hideous as most people’sContinue reading “January 26th – New passport”

October 23rd – who ate the map???

Our photo book arrived today and it got us talking about our next adventure.

Hopefully our friends at AmazonContinue reading “October 23rd – who ate the map???”

October 4th – Wet days

The weather in the UK has been dire over the last few days, but thankfully I always have 2 ‘to-do’ lists on the go, one for inside and one for outside, which keeps me busy and distracted from the gloom wet days. One of the current indoor projects is the creation of a photo bookContinue reading “October 4th – Wet days”

August 26th – When in Cornwall…..

A pasty must be sampled…. We went on one of our favourite woofer walks, an easy circular walk starting in Mawgan Porth, and heading in land to St Mawgan, with the customary stop for coffee on the footpath and the lunch at The Falcon Inn in St Mawgan.

A sad day, as we empty the truck ready for a trade in tomorrow. Having had this vehicle for the last 16 years, we have very fond memories of adventures in it. Probably, the most memorable was the time (many years ago) that we took the 4 kids to Northern France in it. Following theContinue reading “August 13th – Goodbye old friend”

July 24th – Solitude or loneliness?

Today’s picture is from the archives, but I thought of this image after doing a tough shift for SHOUT.

Before our European trip I took 4/5 spin classes a week, but obviously that stopped whilst traveling and then we got home all gyms were closed As mentioned in previous posts, gyms have been hit hard financial, and so it’s great to see them being able to reopen and rebuild their businesses.

So I shifted our motorhome on to the drive for a few minutes to give it a clean, but when I looked around these 2 had parked their MoHo and made themselves at home!!! OK, so a little exaggeration…… Our dear friends Clive and Sarah found themselves stranded due to the Covid-19 lockdown. Like us,Continue reading “June 14th – Invaders”
