Our Current van is a Adria Coral 670 sk. Absoloute luxury as far as we are concerned.

we have visited to name but a few Holland ,Belgium ,Germany ,Luxembourg ,Switzerland and Andorra. There have of course been numerous trips around England and Wales. Our favourite trips inthe UK tend to be up to Escosse, around the locks and the west coast. Most of our summers hav been spent touring in the motorhome capital of the world, France.

Our hobbies are having fun, skiing,surfing,canoeing,walking,cycling and anything else you care to mention that's fun and preferably dangerous.

THE NEWARK SHOW.




Well not a lot of pictures on this one Im afraid.

A 2 night weekend to the Newark show with Motorhomefun. A really good meet this one. We met with some old freinds and new and had a great laugh. The show itself was a bit poor really, not a lot of trader were there and Saturdays gale force winds were not too much fun. Sunday was a fantastic day though. Blue sky, warm and just right.
We met with some friends from UKCS and dragged them in to the motorhomefun pavillion which they all seemed to enjoy.
Bigest problem to arise from this show was grumpy kids. Bored bored bored style. I have hopefully recterfied this issue by buying a new 1kw Honda eu generator and allowing them too take the xbox for limited gaming.
I have cleaned the van and it looks good as it get prepared for next weeks 10 day tour of Scotland. A rally I am actually hosting at loch ness.
till then good luck all

New member of the Family





Well after several months of wanting thinking and debating we finally made our family complete. We have finally got a Newfoundland.
We rescued one with the help of the newfoundland club of the UK.

We have got a girl, still a puppy in Newfoundland terms with about 8 months of growing left too do. We picked her up from the Wiltshire area and her name is Tara. she is adorable. needs a bit of caring for to get her to the size and look she should be for a newfie but I recon she willl do us proud. She is a bit shy at the moment and a little worried but i have no doubt she will settle in quickly. We of course utilised the motorhome and a night stopping at cirencester to get her, she fits in the MH no problem at the moment and is just so full of life. The boys adore her as we all do and it like I said, sort of completes our whole family really.


So here's a few pics, we are off to the Newark show in a two weeks followed by 14 nights in Scotland. can't wait.
