After yesterday, this morning was decidedly middling. Still, we set off with Flynn to scope out the vet and then walk back along the beach to town. As we got to the beach, the weather was, as Jimmy Greaves might have put it, “a game of two halves” to the right: dark clouds and rain,…

We bit off a little more than I could chew today. Our intention was perhaps to get to Tarifa but the long motorway slog was getting the better of me by about Seville with another two hours to go. We stopped briefly in a weird lorry park cum hotel sent forward in time from the…

We’re attending a party – well one and a half parties around Henley-on Thames. We parked up on the meadows car park. It’s free over night but expensive in the day. The location right next to the Thames is excellent. Flynn can run on the meadow and we can gaze along the river towards Henley.…

We had low expectations of Tenterden Christmas market and it delivered bang on expectations. Luckily Tenterden itself is made of sterner stuff and underneath the councils lazy outsourced Christmas market, the town came though. We’re parked on the High Weald Landscape Trail which also happens to be next to a modern estate. The market itself…
