3 weeks around Andalucia we’d been planning this for several months as I knew my current work contract would be coming to an end. Three weeks touring around Andalucia. We were flying into Alicante from Southend. Southend airport was a breeze, there are not many flights and its a relatively stress free experience, plus we got a … More Spain 2024
Travel anywhere abroad at the moment is complicated, being double jabbed, having hours of admin to get your certificates that allow you in to Malta, plus the £120 we spent on tests to take in Malta and two days after our return seems like a lot of effort, but hopefully the holiday will make it … More Malta – travel in a Covid world
10 May 2019 So it was time to leave our lovely caravan for 5 days in Aviemore, sad to leave such a beautiful place, but on the plus side most of our drive was along the shores of Loch Ness, somewhere I wanted to see for a long long time. we stopped at Fort Augustus … More Loch Ness to Aviemore
8 May 2019 I had wanted to Walk up Ben Nevis, but alas the weather was against us, and I’m not sure my fitness level was up there either..

We had a 3 hour walk planned from the visitor centre and it looked like … More Glenfinnan
Oban was another beautiful drive, not too far from Fort William. We parked easily and wandered around the town, it was an overcast day and the town seemed quite austere. It’s a small town so it doesn’t take long to get around, so we headed for a little cafe called the potting shed for lunch, … More Oban, a garden and long drive
Friday 3 May 2019 A very early start on the drive to Corpach near Fort William, out the door at 7:15 am, with a couple of stops including lunch in the north of England and Teabay services (pies as your asking), a struggle through Glasgow traffic and an amazing drive along Loch Lomond We eventually … More To Scotland
Saturday the 27 October We had a bit of time before we had to leave as our flight wasn’t until 9pm that evening, so even though we had a four hour drive we didn’t have to rush. We went back into Ortigia, as it was a Saturday it seemed a lot busier than previous times … More Time to go home 😦
26th October and a special birthday Somebody had a big birthday today, and it was Dawn! What we had hoped for in booking Sicily was to have Dawn’s birthday in the sun, and it did not disapoint. The forcaste had predicted 26 degrees and sunny skies, so we were off to the town of Noto … More Dawn’s birthday in Noto
