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 …

168 – Baby wild boar and spectacular ceramics!
Quite often the highlight of our day is something completely unplanned and just a wonderful surprise. This morning we had a knock on our door at 7am, and a couple of builders asked if we could shuffle so they could park their work vans for a job opposite. We happily obliged (its illegal to wild …

166 – Cave Spa and beehive rocks
Starting your week, waking up next to two huge piles of dog puke is pretty grim…and also an illustration of my epic deep sleeping skills. Mabel stole some food yesterday so we are guessing it was her, but she seemed happier as the day went on. Big thanks to the hubby for clearing it up! …

Day 5 – Jasper goes on strike and breathtaking end
Journey: Ypres – Tournai – Planes des L’Escaut Nature Reserve – Mons – Dinant (126 miles) A somewhat frustrating day with a beautiful end. Everyone should visit Dinant, it is simply stunning!

Day 1 – We finally leave Norwich
Journey: Norwich – Colchester – Canterbury We have finally left Norwich! I woke at 5:30am and took Jasper for a final walk around Whitlingham, which was as beautiful as ever. We then travelled separately to Colchester to drop off the car and say goodbye to Deborah Davies, Delilah and Colin. Perk of motorvan driving…my bladder has …
