Does Size Matter? Tuesday.After a good sleep, I was disappointed to find that the water was only tepid for my shower! The water heater seems to be having an off day.We were on the road by 9.30 having paid our €3 parking charge and off loaded the waste water.The motorway is still boring, but the miles are flying past and were soon at the border and cross into Germany where the motorways continue to be monotonous! We have a coffee break late morning and lunch about one and a half hours later. A German lady asked us if she could take a photo of our Dream Catcher name, she like to collect pictures of interesting stickers. She told us that she was travelling to Denmark in her more regular camper.More miles covered at a good rate ... read more

Friday It seems a little strange to be heading north in the UK when our ferry leaves from Dover on Sunday, but we have a the pleasure of attending Nikita and Ed's wedding at Handforth tomorrow. We stopped off at Buxton for a flying visit to two of our daughters before heading to our pub camper stop in Adlington, the Miners Arms, an excellent country pub close to the Middlewood way, so Logan was pleased with his lovely walk in the sunshine along this old railway line. The pub food and beer was very good, and the locals friendly. SaturdayWe woke to the birds singing and another lovely sunny day. After breakfast we drove to the Church to the wedding, Nikita, life long friend of Polly's, looked beautiful and elegant, everyone had a lovely time, we ... read more

The maintenance and modifications department has been very busy recently, rumours abound that a little trip is coming up. So here a few of the things which have been happening. The Heki rooflight has always had a small leak, probably something to do with the fact that they are designed to be fitted to flat rooves and our roof is curved, I do like a challenge. The rooflight was also damaged and had an orange mist over it, so it was time to replace it. After shaping pieces of hardwood to compensate for the curve, I used non-setting mastic to stick it all together and to the roof. It really is very sticky stuff and seems to be working well, there have been some heavy showers recently and no leaks have appeared. I previously used Sikaflex ... read more

Well it's nearly time for Dream Catcher's next 'Adventure Before Dementia'. The plan, 3 months travelling in Scandanavia, leaving 6th May. Taking the ferry Dover to Calais and driving North through Belgium, Holland, Germany to Denmark, then ferry to Norway. Once in Norway were travelling North, taking in the sights until we reach Nordcapp. We haven't planned our return journey yet, we will do that en-route. Les has worked hard on improvements to Dream Catcher, new roof lights (the old ones were damaged by olive trees on one of our previous adventures). Kitchen area has been tiled, some rewiring completed and new USB sockets fitted. We're hoping for an uneventful trip this time, no earthquakes or floods!... read more
