Having driven so far, so fast, we are staying put a bit longer. This means I’ve less to report back so I might have to make the blogs every other day to not bore you with repetition. Nothing seems to happen before 10 or sometimes 11am. We forget that the Spanish are more nocturnal than …

231 – Mural hunting
Whilst walking the pups on the beach, the clouds lifted and we got our first glimpse of Gibraltar. That settled it, we are heading west. Still if we visit we will no longer be able to state we haven’t been on British soil for almost 8 months! But firstly van chores of laundry and food …
230 – New Years on the beach!
N.B. for some reason it won’t let me attach photos so I will add them separately to FB. Waking in the mountains we soon discovered to our horror that we had run out of LPG and couldn’t make a cuppa! The nearest gas station was 35mins away at the coast so certainly not the end …
227 – Life near a smallholding
Oh I do love a lazy Sunday. We had peaches in porridge for breakfast and lots of coffee before hitting the trails for a 3 miler. Ernests leg was still a little sensitive so it was Jaspers turn to join me. It was a lovely slow amble with plenty of sniff stops but so nice …
224 – Boxing day Baby
My youngest turned one! Happy birthday Ernest 🐾🎂 We woke early and we had two presents for him…a beef wellington flavoured nyla bone and chameleon toy. His siblings stole both so I unearthed Mabels buried ox horn and he happily chewed on that. I was so relieved he was back to his normal bouncy happy …
222 – Xmas eve wolves, agility and mountains
Living in the van we have so little space and weight capacity that we really don’t consider buying stuff. And to be honest anything we really need we tend to buy when the time comes. Outside of coffee and cake our luxury buys are typically books (kindle and audible) as we read prolifically. This year …

216 – Sun, Sea, Sand and 3 sleepy pups
The fire was almost out when we woke this morning, so we went out for a long walk back to Jaspers favourite beach. While the pups played in the surf and chewed sticks, Mark and I picked over the beautiful pebbles and quartz. Jasper was last off the beach and evidently didn’t want to leave, …
214 – The road less travelled
Last night, I felt so thankful. I might not have a clue what TV or celebrity gossip is doing the rounds, but why would I want that when I can be nestled up playing skipbo with snoring pups (wish Jasper had joined us on the bed to). We were up and organised fairly early and …
213 – Bye bye cobwebs
We are slowly getting used to Spains scheduling. Sunday and Monday most places closed, and every other day shops open 10-2, then close and may open at 5pm. Despite this I manage to find an open bakery and buy pan o raisin that are bigger than my face and delicious! We also found a cafe …
212 – Colourful walks and a big chop
This morning we decided to stay on in Elche and explore a little. There isn’t a huge amount to do but it has a couple of large parks and I’d heard there was a dragon sculpture hidden in the trees. What wasn’t mentioned in the guides was the wonderfully coloured river channel. Large sections were …
