    Bertie ventures abroad!

    2023年5月18日, イングランド ⋅ ☁️ 17 °C

    We have decided to try out the name Bertie for the motorhome. As it's a Autosleeper Worcester model (older readers will get the link, you youngsters won't have a clue, OK? so prove us wrong?). Here is his first post........

    Well hi there me maties, this is me first go at this bloggin lark so be gentle with me. So I've ad a couple of outings with him and her an they seem all right, but got a feelin who's in charge, and it ay him! So wim off to the Isle of Wight and managed to get on the way before schedule, which for them is a big thing apparently. The weather is good and traffic not bad, down the M5 and then mostly windy roads, so far so good. We mek it to Lymington ferry terminal ahead of time so managed a cuppa before boarding the ferry. Good crossing on calm Solent water thank god cuz I hear she ay good on water unless it's got a double gin in it! . Only a short journey to our first site just outside Newport.
    Wim staying at a site called The Last Post and it's a museum of the Post Office, we are surrounded by Post Boxes of all descriptions. Yeh I know it's nuts. We had a chat with the guy who seems normal and we are the only ones here so all good really.
    It's her birthday today, so after opening birthday cards and presents they go for a slow walk (ers got a dodgy knee) to the nearby Marina, (Isle of Wight is boat crazy) where unfortunately the pub had closed down (I've already sussed they like, a drink or three), and bizarrely found the bus used in the Spice Girls movie, which is now available to rent as a holiday let. An amble back before partaking of an M&S birthday tea, very nice too.
    He then spent most of the evening playing with his I. O. W. Vectis bus app and she inspected her eyelids after an intake of summat called Black Country Gold!    もっと詳しく

    Sizergh Castle

    2023年4月19日, イングランド ⋅ ☁️ 14 °C

    Today we are coming almost full circle to where we started. We are visiting Sizergh Castle a medieval manor filled with treasure collected by 26 generations of the Strickland family. At our first attempt at parking we find car park is full with no space for our now larger Motorhome so we leave and visit the near by farm shop. After a spot of lunch we attempt the castle again this time with more luck.
    The castle is two storey and we're allowed to walk around freely with guides every now and then to answer any questions you may have.
    We walked around the gardens which in a few weeks time will be full of colour before heading to our last stopover at The Tavern at Hale, another freebie in exchange for a meal. Bangers and mash for me Cheese Pie for Martin, too many syns but very nice.    もっと詳しく

    Cockermouth and a room with a view.

    2023年4月18日, イングランド ⋅ ☀️ 16 °C

    After looking around Wordsworth's house we stroll down the high street in search of a drink. We've noticed that most of the trees lining the street and the lampposts are decorated with Daffodils which have been knitted and crocheted, it certainly brightens up the town.
    After a drink and something to eat we travel on to the campsite at Wallenwaite. We drive alongside Bassenthwaite Reservoir which is a beautiful colour today until we reach the site. We certainly have a room with a view, the best one of the week.    もっと詳しく

    Maryport and the missing wallet

    2023年4月17日, イングランド ⋅ ☁️ 14 °C

    After leaving Whitehaven we head to Maryport for our free overnight stay. We're parking up on the Promanade. When we arrive the sky is thick with cloud and the tide is out but we can see Scotland from our windows.
    We decide to get the bikes out and go for a ride around the harbour. There's a mixture of both working boats and leisure boats.
    We parked up at the pub for a drink, while trying to decide whether to eat as well as drink we found out Martin had lost his wallet, thank goodness for card payment by phone!
    After finishing our drinks quickly we head back to the Motorhome hoping we've left the wallet there. As we arrive a car pulls up and a man gets out and asks ' Are you Martin' and produces the lost wallet.
    We had riden past him while he was out walking his dog, and as he continued he found the wallet, looked inside and recognised Martin from his bus pass, apparently he had been driving around the town trying to find us, luckily he decided to try the prom and recognised us when he drove past us. Just goes to show there are some good people around.
    Breath easy now and enjoy the sunset.    もっと詳しく

    Whitehaven and the Jefferson Rum Museum

    2023年4月17日, イングランド ⋅ ☁️ 11 °C

    Our new wheels are proving to be everything we wanted and our snag list is getting insignificant. But boy is the ride hard and over crap roads ratlles like a bag of spanners! Tyre pressures have been adjusted to no avail and the air suspension is set on 20psi as recommended in the van handbook. After a tour of the Airride web site to get some more information on the system they recommend topping the system up to 100psi and test and reduce by 10 to find a best setting. So topped up to 80psi at a BP garage and what a transformation! Huge improvement in the ride and reduction in oven rattle. We are very happy bunnies.
    Today we're visiting the harbour metropolis of Whitehaven, after parking and walking along the harbour to the Beacon Museum, only to find it's closed on Mondays we head into town to find the alternative tourist attractions, the Rum Museum.
    Jefferson's started bringing Rum and sugar from the Caribbean in the 1700, and the museum documents the story of how it all began. Very interesting with lots of atmospheric vaults and tableaus to see, with a tot of rum at the end.
    The town itself is very run down and tired with lots of empty shops. We return to the Motorhome and head for Maryport just up the coast where we will spend the night.    もっと詳しく

    Ravenglass and Eskdale Railway

    2023年4月16日, イングランド ⋅ ☁️ 10 °C

    Today we're taking a trip on the Ravenglass and Eskdale Narrow Gauge Railway from Ravenglass to Dalegarth. When they say narrow gauge they mean it, the carriages were very compact, we chose an open sided one as when we booked the weather looked okay but it was a bit cool.
    Nice journey of about 40 minutes through the countryside, plenty of wildlife (and sheep of every variety) to look at and lots of beautiful bright gorse bushes to brighten up the otherwise dull and misty landscape.
    On reaching Dalegarth we disembark and head straight to the pub, well why not there's nothing else to do here. Nice drop of Lakeland IPA was enjoyed during the 40 minute stopover then it's back to the train for our homeward journey. A quick look around the museum before heading off to the overnight stay outside Whitehaven, a lovely site with good views, until the fog descended.    もっと詳しく

    Ulverston and the Rugby Club

    2023年4月15日, イングランド ⋅ ☁️ 9 °C

    Today we're going to Ulverston, a lovely town full of independent shops. Birth place of Stan Laurel of Laurel and Hardy fame. We visit the indoor market and make a purchase, we also pick up some fresh vegetables for tomorrow's tea, and visit the charity shops in search of a new Whiskey glass as his got broken this morning.
    After a cuppa we travel on to tonight's stop over at Millom Rugby Union Football Club, doesn't sound much but we have a lovely view.
    The weather has changed today, we have beautiful sunshine and a much better temperature. We sit outside and soak up some rays for a bit before Mart decides to have a bike ride along the Lagoon and Estuary, then it's back to the van for Steak and Chips for dinner.    もっと詳しく

    Holker House and Gardens

    2023年4月14日, イングランド ⋅ 🌧 9 °C

    After leaving Grange-Over-Sands we rock up for a visit to Holker House, family home of the Cavendish family. Large country estate with Hall, gardens, cafe and goumet shop. We walked around the hugely impressive house where all the furnishings and contents were not roped off, so you could roam at random. Onto the well laid out gardens, the Rhododendron bushes were huge and full of colour. Onwards then to our next overnight stay on a small site near Newby Bridge.もっと詳しく

    Grange-Over-Sands

    2023年4月14日, イングランド ⋅ ☁️ 8 °C

    After a very cold night we wake to lovely sunshine, and hit the road A6 in this case and we travel to Grange-Over-Sands. The wind has dropped right away today so our walk along the prom is a lot more pleasant. The prom runs alongside the railway line but no trains appear to be running. We head into town through the park in search of a cuppa and then find a fabulous butchers, so 2 huge rump steaks and lamb steaks along with Cumberland sausage are purchased, it's a good job we don't live here it would cost me a fortune.もっと詳しく

    On our way.

    2023年4月13日, イングランド ⋅ 🌬 7 °C

    Well this is the first road trip in our new to us and as yet unnamed motorhome. We have fettled away till the long list has been completed, and so off we go up north on a coastal trip around the Lake District, moving on every day. So today we are travelling up to Morecombe on the first leg of our journey. The weather is dry although rain has threatened all day. A good journey with no hold ups
    We arrived at Morecombe and after a bite to eat we headed towards the Prom, boy it's blowing a gale, we strolled along for a while but had to turn back as it was cold and starting to rain.
    We headed off to our first over night stay at The Lodge Pub, a free nights parking in exchange for buying a meal in the pub, and nice pints of Eagle IP beer.,who could pass up on that.    もっと詳しく

    On our way home via Villajoyosa

    2023年1月22日, イングランド ⋅ ☁️ 0 °C

    Up early ready to vacate the apartment but we have a few hours to kill before we catch the plane.
    We drive towards Alicante and stop off as Villajoysa on the way.
    A lovely town with beautifully decorated houses in different colours. As folklore would have it, it is so that the fishermen could spot their houses from the sea.
    We walked the full length of the prom soaking up the last of the sunshine.
    We stopped for lunch and sat outside overlooking the sea whilst we ate an under whelming burger.
    Onwards now to the Airport, slight delay in taking off, about an hour, but good flight home and we are now safely enconsed in our familiar surroundings.
    A lovely holiday with good weather, nice apartment and a lovely town.
    Would we go again, doubtful.
    Would we recommend it, definitely.    もっと詳しく

    Hazy Lazy Days and Holidays

    2023年1月21日, スペイン ⋅ ☀️ 13 °C

    Well today is our last full day here and we're having a lazy one.
    After finally getting out of our very comfortable bed, 8 night's of uninterrupted sleep for more hours than I'd like to say, we have a late breakfast and just chill.
    We rouse ourselves to pack and then head off to walk up Albir to find the Micro Brewery for a couple of beers before catching the bus back and returning to the Indian restaurant for our last meal. One of the best Indian meals we've ever had.    もっと詳しく

    Moraira

    2023年1月20日, スペイン ⋅ ☀️ 16 °C

    We are now moving on to Moraira for the afternoon, we drove through here the other day and thought how nice it looked.
    Again this town has a harbour and a lovely beach.
    Right at the end of the town on a car park were several Motorhomes parked up.
    We walked around the outside of the Castell de Moraira again looking at the statutes and then found a nice restaurant on the front where we had a late lunch sitting outside, not bad for January although it was getting a bit cool by the time we had finished.
    Back to the car and home for a leisurely evening and to watch the match.    もっと詳しく

    Xàbia

    2023年1月20日, スペイン ⋅ ☀️ 15 °C

    Today we're taking the car to Xàbia a coastal town to the North of Altea.
    The town has a harbour and a large beach but no town to speak of. The weather is sunny today with a slight breeze.
    We walk along the sea front and as has happened so many times when we've been holidaying, we meet a fellow 'Baggies' supporter, so after the initial 'Boing, Boing' greeting we stopped for a quick chat. The couple had moved over here to live from Tipton about six months ago and they were loving every moment. Of course the upcoming match, which is on tonight, had to be discussed.
    We left them with another hearty 'Boing Boing' and walked a little further taking in the statue of an unknown painter before stopping for refreshments and heading back to the car.
    We then drove to the other end of the town where there were some really nice properties overlooking the beach.    もっと詳しく

    El Castell de Guadalest

    2023年1月19日, スペイン ⋅ ☀️ 14 °C

    After lunch we moved on to Guadalest which is a very small village in the hills with a museum and castle. Apparently only about 200 people live there but in the height of the summer have thousands of visitors a day.
    We walked around the museum which overlooks the Embassament de Guadalest a huge reservoir which is a beautiful turquoise blue colour. It was a lovely little town but being so high up it was very windy and cold.
    From here on the photos will not be such good quality as I've just broken the camera.
    There was a beautiful sunset tonight.    もっと詳しく

    2023年1月19日, スペイン ⋅ ☀️ 11 °C

    Today we're going to see the waterfalls at Fonts de l'Algar inland and up towards the mountains.
    We were pleasantly surprised by the amount of water flowing down the waterfalls. There were also little ponds which you were allowed to paddle and there were people in the water. Martin put his hand in it and said it wasn't as cold as he expected.
    We walked all around the paths and gardens and then had lunch by a swimming pool before moving on.    もっと詳しく

    Beautiful Benidorm!!! We'll see.

    2023年1月18日, スペイン ⋅ ☀️ 10 °C

    Well it's got to be done, we're this close we've got to go and check it out.
    We're taking the bus as the tram station is quite a walk away from the town. The bus takes about 40 minutes to get there meandering through the towns on the way.
    One of the big surprises on arriving at Benidorm was the number of camping and caravan sites, there were 4 along the same road.
    We got off the bus as near as possible to The Balcony del Mediterranean, which is a scenic look out deck in the centre of the town.
    We walked along Platja de Ponet beach first, the sand on the beach is lovely and fine and very clean. We then headed into the centre which is full of shops with sale's on, and restaurants we then went down to the other beach Platja de Llevant where we sat having a drink watching all the mobility scooters going by, single seats, double seats and even ones with seats side by side, I never realised there were so many designs.
    The buildings here are huge, the tallest I counted was 32 stories, not my cup of tea
    Before heading home we have tea and what do Brits in Benidorm eat, yes you've guessed it Fish and Chips.    もっと詳しく

    A Day At Leisure

    2023年1月17日, スペイン ⋅ 🌬 16 °C

    Today we are taking it easy. We are walking into Altea as there is a Market on.
    After checking out the flea market and thankfully keeping our hands in our pockets we walk down to the sea front for a drink.
    We then spend a leisurely afternoon back at the apartment before going out this evening for a stroll to the local Indian restaurant for one of the best Curries we've had.    もっと詳しく

    Calp

    2023年1月16日, スペイン ⋅ ☁️ 14 °C

    Today we took the car and headed to Call home of the large rock protruding from the end of the beach.
    The weather today is not as good a full blanket of cloud and not as warm.
    Well we walked along the prom, as you do, and then headed inland towards the old town.
    Not as impressive as Altea. We made our way back to the car and stumbled across a supermarket complete with cafe so killing two birds with one stone we have lunch and top up the shopping. Bonus shoppers get 2 hours free parking and although we'd been to been there longer it didn't cost a penny.
    Glad we decided not to stay here Shit rating scale 5.76 , that's Martin's score.
    As least the sun has come out now.
    We returned home for a leisurely night, did manage to get both sunrise and sunset today.    もっと詳しく

    Exploring Albir

    2023年1月15日, スペイン ⋅ ⛅ 16 °C

    Today we're having a gentle stroll into Albir which lies between Altea and Benidorm. We walked along the prom basking in the sunshine, it's shorts and sun tops today.
    We walk passed the Marina and another batch of nice restaurants.
    We're hoping to find a bar selling craft beers which Martin has read about but when we reach it there is no craft beer so it's a Guinness today.
    The beach is accessible all along the prom but disappointingly it's a pebble beach and no sand.
    After lunch we decide to catch the bus back but unfortunately we don't have any face masks so we have to walk back to the prom to find a shop selling masks. Items purchased and back to the bus stop in time for the next bus., cheap fares over here.
    Meal in tonight as neither of us can be bothered to go out    もっと詳しく

    Altea Old Town

    2023年1月14日, スペイン ⋅ 🌙 11 °C

    After a good night's sleep and a leisurely breakfast we set out to explore the Old Town. Not quite such a steep climb as we thought and we took it steady stopping frequently to take in the view's. The Old Town is full of little streets and alley ways full of shops and bars and restaurants, not all are open but there is a good selection, Tapas and Italian food seems to be the main theme.
    When we reached the top we went inside the beautifully decorated blue domed Church.
    We make our way back down to the sea front for a drink before our Chinese meal and headed home, not quite 10,000 steps but not far off.    もっと詳しく

    Sunshine here we come.

    2023年1月13日, スペイン ⋅ ⛅ 11 °C

    Up early to fly on Friday 13th, we must be mad. Birmingham Airport was very quiet, checked in and through security in record time. We had a good flight not as bumpy as I expected and the time passed quickly. Again Alicante Airport was quiet, landed, through passport control and the baggage was waiting for us, straight to the car park and picked up the car in just over half an hour.
    Arrived at the apartment and it was just like the pictures, wonderful view of the Old Town from the window..
    We stroll down to the sea front for a drink and early meal then back for an early night. Plenty of time to explore tomorrow.    もっと詳しく

    Up early and after he checked me all over for clinging migrants we trundle off for the tunnel and an early crossing. Au revoir France, you've been great!
    Nice steady run back home, but bugger me the road surface of our motorways are grim and noisy compared to anywhere in France.
    Anyway thanks for listening to me and a special thanks to all of you who have bin arsed to comment, you know who you are, it does make our drivel worthwhile compiling.    もっと詳しく

    Up and out of Eyreux without problems and it's mainly motorway now after nippin round Rouen. They decide to spend a bob or two on the toll section around Bolougne to speed us up and we end up on the coast 20 mins from Calais on a great Aire by the harbour in Gravelines.
    Tunnel booked for a 9.50 crossing tomorrow they ave a late lunch overlooking the many small boats in the harbour then set off to explore the town, the centre of which has Fort walls surrounded completely by a wide moat. It's a small but tidy little town to wander around. Finally back at the harbour herself gets a sunset she can capture, bless her. Home tomorrow, but I ay looking forward to the crowded motorways in Blighty after the quiet beautifully surfaced roads we have enjoyed everywhere . We need the French to teach us how to make, and maintain a road network, they ave been a joy on me feet I can tell ya.    もっと詳しく

    On we go again.... about half way up the I diddle diddle of France now, easy driving but a fair time for him at me wheel. I'm runnin nicely though thanks to Uncle Kevs Redex Diesel treatment bottles! They decide to stop at the Aire right in the middle in Eyreux Town for the night, but it s a small one with only 6 places, and 30 mins away 2 of them have gone. It's a race to get there before anyone else?
    Well we mek it and there's just 2 left with one motorhome waiting at the barrier phew!! After a cuppa they nip out to have a walk tound the centre and it ain't bad with a huge cathedral in the centre and a bit of water running through the centre of the town. Nice pricey upmarket shops to window shop, with assistants keeping a wary eye on himself hopin he ay gonna come in and lower the tone.
    Last push tomorrow to get to around Calais for lunchtime.    もっと詳しく
