Calais

We made it to France after some very last minute drama, when we realised neither of us had thought to check French entry requirements and our vaccines had expired. So a race against the clock to findWeiterlesen
French Shopping Centre
8. Juli 2022 in Frankreich ⋅ ☀️ 19 °C
Going to a supermarket when you first get to a country is always fun isn't it 🤣
We came here last time, and bought frogs legs. This time I was just wasting time while Brace worked.
I may or may notWeiterlesen

Awning Glory

Brace put our awning up for the first time 🥳
We felt like we were in our living room relaxing, not just a public car park 🤣
So nice to have it up 😊
An Awning Morning in Lokeren
10. Juli 2022 in Belgien ⋅ ☀️ 17 °C
After being well and truly woken up by next door's cockadoodledoofus... We went out for our first awning breakfast.
Life is so much better with a square of tent material over your head 😍🥰🥳
Bospark Animals
10. Juli 2022 in Belgien ⋅ ⛅ 22 °C
The place we are parked up at (a council carpark with designated campervan spaces) is the car park to an amazing place.
Originally a fabric mill, turned into steel production during ww2, and now aWeiterlesen
Staying on a local Asparagus Farm
11. Juli 2022 in den Niederlanden ⋅ ⛅ 23 °C
Best spot ever for Lennon, who can play out on the grass by the van. We are on a small field reserved for campers, at the edge of an asparagus farm.
They're not in season, so instead we've had some ofWeiterlesen
Lennon's first sand
12. Juli 2022 in den Niederlanden ⋅ ⛅ 20 °C
There was a little play area at the farm. Lennon loved chasing spiders in the sand pit 😂
Bizarrely he didn't put any sand in his mouth at all! We expected sandy nappies for days actually 🤣
Working on the farm
12. Juli 2022 in den Niederlanden ⋅ ☁️ 26 °C
I lived out my dream of marrying a man who lived and worked on a farm... Albeit for a day. We went to say Hello and Goodbye to the goats once we'd finished working, playing, eating and showering, toWeiterlesen
Germany
12. Juli 2022 in Deutschland ⋅ ☁️ 28 °C
I missed the Germany sign on the motorway. But we are here 🇩🇪🥳
Camped by a sports complex, and a huuuuge wood. Unlike most woods we find, it was completely un signposted which was a niceWeiterlesen
Harpstedt - Germany
13. Juli 2022 in Deutschland ⋅ ⛅ 22 °C
We stayed in a very nice part of Germany, the houses were huge and posh, almost like gingerbread houses, so posh and well guarded by fierce dogs I didn't really feel like I could take pictures 😂Weiterlesen

Lennon is Lemony
14. Juli 2022 in Deutschland ⋅ ⛅ 18 °C
Not quite sure where our happy little smiler has gone... He has become very bitey, hitty, nippy, screamy, grunty and above all else he is constantly pulling evil faces 🤣
He is definitely sour LemonWeiterlesen
The Perfect Spot!
14. Juli 2022 in Deutschland ⋅ ⛅ 18 °C
I'd spent hours looking for "the perfect spot" somewhere we could spend my birthday evening, and stay comfortably until Sunday... Finding somewhere to suit all our needs, that is free and lovely andWeiterlesen
Accidental Sunset
14. Juli 2022 in Deutschland ⋅ ⛅ 15 °C
The silver lining of being moved along by police and having to find somewhere late and last minute, was we finally saw a sunset 🤣 (a drive by one to be specific so these photos are from the vanWeiterlesen
Hard Play
16. Juli 2022 in Deutschland ⋅ ⛅ 19 °C
Took him to another play gym. They are totally different here, all hand made and decorated, mainly wood and harder stuff. So different to the standard play gyms you see all over the UK.
Hard to get aWeiterlesen
Laundry Day
16. Juli 2022 in Deutschland ⋅ ⛅ 17 °C
Always good luck when a laundrette is next door to a pub 😁
Later, we met the sassiest girl I've ever seen. She was basically trying to steal Ringo, even he obeyed her, her Mum obeyed her, weWeiterlesen
Hamburg Town Hall
17. Juli 2022 in Deutschland ⋅ ⛅ 17 °C
Second biggest city in Germany, and almost everything was closed. It was a ghost town until around 10am and wasn't busy then either.
Odd at first, but nice really. It's a shame all countries don'tWeiterlesen
Binnenalster - Hamburg
17. Juli 2022 in Deutschland ⋅ ⛅ 19 °C
Our few hours spare to explore Hamburg was taken hostage by screaming Lennon so we spent most our time trying to get him to sleep in the pram. Which he didn't.
The architecture is very interesting inWeiterlesen
Walking through Hamburg

We ditched Ringo for a second look round Hamburg. We've lost Lennon's hat so had to dress him as an Arabian Prince for the afternoon
Chocolate Factory Tour
17. Juli 2022 in Deutschland ⋅ ⛅ 22 °C
A belated birthday celebration we went on a tour of the chocolate factory. It was ok. Not as interesting as Cadbury Land, but nicer chocolate and a funny guide called Em.
Elbphilharmonie Hamburg
17. Juli 2022 in Deutschland ⋅ ⛅ 22 °C
Our chocolate factory tour guide very firmly suggested we go to the opera house, so we did. You can go up to the top, and there is a full 360° balcony so you see all of Hamburg from above.
