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 …

228 – The simple life
I really love this spot and being in no hurry to move on we had another day enjoying the scenery. After completing the van chores, I had a pamper with face mask, pedicure and washed my hair in the cold stream. We walked the pups and then later fashioned a double bungy lead to attempt …
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 …
215 – Living the doggy dream and environmental costs
We woke to the smell of smoke so thick we could taste it. A quick glance outside and all along the shore farmers had fires burning, with thick plumes of smoke being swept towards the ocean. Definitely not ideal running conditions. We waited until mid morning by which time the fires were reducing, and took …

211 – Head wind…
Mark is rather pleased I’m back running again as it means he can enjoy a leisurely stroll with the older pups and I can attempt to tire our youngster out. This morning we went on a glorious 5 mile run, and I honestly expected him to be tuckered out by the end but nope, he …
208 – Running for chocolate
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 …
133 – Vets and not much else
If I can get my arse out of bed early, I generally stay out of bed. Given my propensity to linger in the van until 10am, my new routine requires a 6:30 alarm and a straight out and exercise approach. So when the hubster let me sleep in, I woke with a start then panicked …
125 – Just one foot in front of the other…for 26miles
So I hinted yesterday of a surprise…I’d only told three people (hubby, James Dunne a running coach and Dean Byers my fitness coach)…a week ago I signed up to run Wroclaw marathon! They all thought I was mad but wished me well. It was an insane idea, given I’d done no training – most training …

118 – Simple pleasures
Not every day is a riot of new and exciting activities. Sometimes it’s nice to just potter and enjoy the simple pleasures. Sundays are ideal for this – I’m always slow to get going on a Sunday. That said when I did emerge from bed, it was on with the trainer’s and out for a …
115 – Ecstasy is dancing like nobody is watching
I’ve been having so much fun that I’ve totally fallen off my fitness regime and thus been eating everything in sight and doing no exercise. I’ve sort of loved it, but my body feels lethargic and misses the healthiness so today was catch up day. We had parked right next to Neun Garten in Potsdam, …
