It will as no surprise to anyone who knows me that I run predominantly so that I can eat more naughty stuff. The rather sad reality being how far you have to run to actually burn off a delicious slice of cake…but still it gets me out the door and all the other benefits come …

205-7 Valencia city of contrasts
Our travelling pace has slowed considerably and arriving late afternoon on the edge of Valencia we opted to wait until the morning to get the bus in and explore. We were blessed by a bright day and chose to wander by Gulliver’s Park and the central district, seemingly circling the Central Market. The streets around …
204 – Seaside Life Planning
Waking up to another rainy day, we decided to enjoy the stormy sea and stay put. The pups weren’t keen to wake up and I can happily lounge in bed with them waiting for a break in the weather, especially when I have a ton of coursework I’m expertly procrastinating over. Beach life When Jaspers …
197-199 – Vin yards & Light Shows
Apologies, its catch up time. My parents came to visit and my evenings have been a wonderful mix of board game family time. I was also hit hard with the blues for a couple of days, but that fortunately lifted for our mock xmas today! Yesterday we took the pups to an old quarry called …
196 – Parents brought xmas with them!
As December fast approaches there are two types of people: Mrs Claus aka Maria – sad about not having a xmas tree, googled creative ways to decorate your van, wondering what santa is up to (visited his house and reindeer in Finland during the summer, but he also lives in Wales with my nan), bought …
195 – Meeting in the mountains
After a little hiccup finding each other, our two blue dots moving from opposite ends of Europe finally met up in the quaint french village of Saint Remy de Provence. This is my parents first trip to Europe in their new campervan and so far all is going well. They are much better provisioned with …
180 – Beauty behind the clouds
I noticed a week or so ago that people on the camper forums were making their way to Spain…they are affectionately known as snow birds, arriving early November and staying in the warmth until Feb/March. Having realised our original winter destination of Greece is rather cold/wet I’ve been resisting joining the masses in Spain choosing …
176 – Doggy Olympics and an amphitheatre
We were all a little slow to rise this morning. I’d slept through my alarm and we were so cosy after a mega thunderstorm last night. Honestly the sound of the rain was so heavy it felt like golf balls hitting the roof, and the first claps of thunder made me think someone had crashed. …
174 – History as depicted by Frogs
Hoping to catch the sunrise I snuck out at 6am but it was already light. Still the valley view was wonderful and a great taste of what was to come. Again we took the inland longer route, and it was a dream drive of rugged scenery, hairpins and rural villages. Originally I’d hoped to go …
172 – Plitvice Lakes aka heaven on earth
Today I’m largely going to let the photos do the talking. We drove to Plitvice National Park which is on the Croatia bucket list for many visitors with good reason – it is stunning! We opted for the green route C from the main carpark 1 which covers the great waterfall and both the upper …
