UK Van Trip - 2022

Et 63-dagers eventyr av Lucy & Chris Les mer
  • The Cliffs of Moher

    8. juni 2022, Irland ⋅ 🌬 16 °C

    The trips most anticipated stop... Was a tourist trap sadly and a huge let down.
    Beautiful yes but the Kerry Cliffs we visited the other day were more our style.
    Glad we went though and was fun to be almost blown to our deaths off a cliff by the craziest wind imaginable 😂Les mer

  • Kilkelly

    9. juni 2022, Irland ⋅ ⛅ 15 °C

    First camping spot in a while that feels private and secluded. It reminds us of the types of spots we used to always look for in mainland Europe, but this UK trip we have often been in more populated areas... Partly due to having a toilet inside the van now 😂 giving us the freedom to park wherever.

    But this place has made us really excited to go back to Europe and have more areas like this available 😃

    Lennon has learned to do this tonight... And hasn't stopped doing it since 🙈🤣 he did a few more crawl steps too 😭 we will need to tie him onto Ringo's lead soon to keep him safe!

  • Play Gym

    11. juni 2022, Irland ⋅ 🌧 13 °C

    I can't BELIEVE I didn't think of this sooner! 😮
    On rainy days, it's a struggle keeping Lennon safe and happy in the van, while keeping myself sane and keeping Brace undisturbed from work.
    I've also been feeling bad lately about Lennon's lack of safe space to play about freely in the van without constantly being told no or moved back to safety, and also about his lack of interaction with other children.
    So this is the answer to all our problems. Truth be told I expected him to crawl in there today... The reality was a little more fally as you will see 😂 he had a good time though, and it is apparently free for under ones! Even better 🥳
    Will be taking him to soft play at least weekly from now on

  • Happy Birthday Ringo

    11. juni 2022, Nord-Irland ⋅ ⛅ 15 °C

    We are in Northern Ireland 🥳

    Poor Ringo had a very boring birthday, but will be having the time/fright of his life in Norfolk next week to make up for it 😆

    Lennon seems to have decided crawling is no longer for him, and is screeching around like a disabled worm instead...Les mer

  • Narnia

    13. juni 2022, Nord-Irland ⋅ ☁️ 17 °C

    "There's something here I think you might like" Brace woke me up with, this morning.
    "Have you read the Narnia books?"
    🤣🤣🤣 Have I
    He was probably relieved to have something to sweeten another day for me spent at a bike trail centre 😂
    Such a lucky coincidence. Turns out C.S Lewis grew up in this small village, and Narnia was inspired by the woods here, the very place we drove hours to for Brace to get a decent ride in Northern Ireland as he's not really had much to go at this trip.
    So we have walked round Narnia 🥰🥳🤗😍

  • Goodbye Guinness

    14. juni 2022, Nord-Irland ⋅ ☁️ 17 °C

    We went to the best pub in Northern Ireland... Apparently.

    Not sure about that, but it was traditional. No mobiles allowed, or music or TV... But they did have the racing on.
    And it was friendly enough 😂

    Aside from that we spent afternoon relaxing by the sea on some grass, getting some crawl practice in, and waiting for the ferry ⛴

  • Last Day on Holiday

    23. juni 2022, England ⋅ ⛅ 24 °C

    Lovely day in Thetford forest, walking and mini golf. Lennon finally crawled after a week of trying, on hole 15 🤣🥳
    Then a meal out in mine and Brace's new favourite pub 😂
    Lennon clearly favors swings over slides...
