So today marks the first proper adventure in our self converted van – Monty! It’s been years in the making (in our heads) and a whole physical year in converting! Now complete with Kitchen v2, Pop-top, fiamma awning, solar panel and new batteries, Monty is rearing to go and so are we! It’s been a […]
Today was somewhat of a slow and misty start! After reacquainting ourselves with the intricacies of vanlife, sharing a 5.4 metre van with a 35kg dog and a messy Michael we learnt a lot in a short space of time! E.g. it is warmer to sleep with the pop top up, but the internal bed […]
This morning was back to normal, it was misty and overcast, it had rained overnight and I was not the first person up and out of bed! It was, what can only be described as a leisurely start to the day today, which was very needed after the adventures of yesterday! Tintagel Castle The plan […]
You probably weren’t expecting two blogs in one day, but the title probably gives away the ending to this trip. The morning started like all others, somewhat overcast, the same sweepstake as to who would be the first one up and out of bed (it was me!), taking for dog for a short meander, battening […]
Having packed everything, including a new kitchen sink installed in the van, we hit the road! A glamorous first night It’s nothing too exciting today I’m afraid folks, Michael has to go to site in Sheffield and I am being treated to a night in a Holiday Inn Express. How the other half live eh […]
For those who don’t identify as a Swiftie, yes that is a Taylor Swift lyric. After a patchy nights sleep for me, ironically a better one for Michael and the dog, we headed to a retail park to pick up some essentials – treats for the dog and food for the humans. Before heading north […]
We woke up to a wet Warton, the Crag that we had walked up yesterday afternoon was now no longer visible. If we hadn’t have seen and walked it yesterday we wouldn’t know it was there. A slowish start which essentially means I cuddled the dog for a bit longer than usual, led to our […]
Best believe when Michael takes the dog out first thing, you will be met with the following photo: But I totally get why he took the photo (minus the dogs dignity). There’s not many places where you can wake up, take the dog out and be met with views like that. Scotland is magic. A […]
Aka the best day of my life (sorry Michael) 😅 Anyone who knows me knows that my favourite animal in the world are highland cows. It goes Bentley, Highland Cows, Tigers. I’m really not sure where this love of highland cows came from, they are just beautiful and majestic and today I get to feed […]
