Our love affair with Wales continues. I found a cottage with my usual thrift and speed - a week later we were off to the West with Eesvan and Ro, a doctor and a lawyer. They're not as bad as they sound. We picked said individuals up from Oxford and forged ahead. Things got amusing when the normally infallible Tomtom started to play up - having decided we felt peckish, we instructed the machine to find sustenance. It found us a rabbit. The blasted satnav decided that instead of taking us to the motorway services stop via, say, the motorway, it would indulge in a geographical flight of fancy and take us via the small backroads. On the backroads, I squashed a rabbit (they're pests here, be ye not squeamish). Thus the makers of Tomtom are ... read more

17th August Got up to the sun shining in the windows. The boys woke up before 8 o'clock this morning which is extremely unusual. I've veen wondering what this camp ground reminds me of - it's Hi Di Hi you know that programme with the staff in yellow coats...... We had evening entertainment last night, some man called JC played games with the kids and then the parents got to play bingo. Blake wants to go back tonight for the dancing. We've met some kids along the way. Some love mountain biking, not many cricketers and some footballers and lots of gaelic footballers. People don't believe that the kids are only 6, 10 and 12. Anton entered a competition on the ferry the other day and the guy running it said that if he won Anton ... read more

This weekend we decided to venture west and visit the beautiful Pembrokshire Coastal Path. Basically they have established a 186 mile walking trail in the South West corner of Wales which hugs the coast line all the way. Being the 9-5 slaves we now are, we ventured off on Friday night, Jason catching the train from Newport to Bridgend while Kirstyn frantically purchased an entire camping get-up for the weekend! We made it across to Freshwater East a little after 8 and suprisingly managed to erect our unseen tent in the dark without too much hassle. It was great to be back out camping again enjoying some basic camp food on our new, cheap imitation trangia, as well as a drop of beer and vino! The next morning after a hearty brekkie we walked down to ... read more

We had been planning our trip to Tuscany for ages. Moving to the UK to travel and then being held back from going overseas had been so frustrating. So a trip to Tuscany was well overdue - and just what the Doctor ordered. Well if you haven’t’ yet heard the sordid story I’d better take a step back. As you probably know I have an EU passport. Through me, Brendon can gain EU residency. Before leaving home he applied & got an EEA spousal visa. The final step to his EU residency was simple - or so we were told - just send in our passports to the UK Home Office within six months of arriving in the UK & he’d get a nice rubber stamp. Hah! Have you seen the state of the public service ... read more

Well mum and dad turned up all ok and in one piece after a few days in bangkok before flying into London. I went to London, spent one night with them, then they hired a car and dad actually drove out of London to Bristol!!!! I think mum nearly chewed off all her nails, but we arrived with out actually taking any wrong turns!!! On the Friday we took off to Wales and to the B & B we were going to stay in for the long weekend over here which actually falls on Jule's birthday!! We were going to meet his mum and dad which I think all went very well. The B&B was quite a cute little place set on 20 acres, we actually took all three rooms, so we had it to ourselves. ... read more
