    Wotton under edge

    May 25, 2024 in Wales ⋅ ☁️ 16 °C

    Had a lovely evening in Wotton and after a light breakfast had a little mosey around the village. Lovely little place with walks on the doorstep onto the Cotswold way, we'll definitely go back. Had a coffee in Dursley, then checked out the George pub and campsite, not great. Called to see how Wynn was settling in with Mum and Dad and introduced Charlie. Popped to the Sally Inn and got a takeaway for all of us. Off to bed knackered!Read more

  • Wynn finally arrives! 🙌

    May 24, 2024 in England ⋅ ☁️ 14 °C

    Awoke to messages, no Wynn yet, but it doesn't seem long. Quickly get some things together and jump in Ruby before 7am. Stopped in the services and set off again convinced he'd be there when we arrived, but no. Helen went up and then rings to say Ellie is going to theatre. Finally, the little man arrives. A long and difficult labour, but so proud of Ellie. Proud grandparents indeed. Everybody is shattered and we decide to book a hotel in Wotton under edge and have a nice evening semi celebrating 🍾Read more

  • Headed home but...

    May 23, 2024 in England ⋅ ☁️ 12 °C

    Had to head home as Charlie needed his 2nd vaccination and still no sign of Wynn. Stopped via the lovely Ironbridge for a coffee, home and unloaded. Mark had to drop off work stuff and later on, we were heading for an early night, when Ellie called to say contractions had started!Read more

  • Deer park

    May 21, 2024 in England ⋅ ☁️ 17 °C

    Mark did some work in the van, then in the afternoon Gaz and Ellie took us to the Deer park. What a lovely place, barely a soul to be seen apart from several groups of deer. Still no sign of Wynn thoughRead more

  • Hotfoot back to Berkeley

    May 20, 2024 in England ⋅ ☀️ 15 °C

    Drove over to Marks' work appointment in Haverfordwest. Discovered Ellie is already dilating, so head east after lunch, stopping in Pontprennau for a quick lunch. Still no developments, so spend some of the evening together before heading for an early nightRead more

  • Cardiff & Pembs

    May 19, 2024 in Wales ⋅ ☀️ 17 °C

    Drove to Cardiff to see Mum. Stayed several hours as it looks like Mum's had a mini stroke, sadly. Lunch with the family helped mow the lawn, then over to Penally Court campsite (£27). Rubbish meal at the Overlander Inn, then back to the van fir the Crown and bed. Ellie has to go into hospital, so hoping that all is wellRead more

  • Over to Berkeley

    May 18, 2024 in Wales ⋅ ⛅ 14 °C

    50 minute drive over to Berkeley. Lovely weather and we enjoyed time on their lovely patio, watching Gaz test out his snazzy bbq for some steak sarnies. Went to the 'sally' for their Belgium beer and cheese fest, sat in the garden. Back to Chez GazEl to watch the Fury/Usyk undisputed fightRead more

  • South to Ross

    May 17, 2024 in England ⋅ ☁️ 18 °C

    Got the Van stocked up, then headed south via the Squirrel in Ludlow for a pitstop. 40 minutes onto the Yew tree inn campsite (£25) just north of Ross on wye. A lovely evening, got the tv fixed up and working, then spent a few hours in the sunshine in the beer garden with local cider and a pizzaRead more
