Havergate Island

Havergate Island

Farne Islands

Farne Islands

A recent trip to visit Scotland gave me the opportunity to stop off at Seahouses in Northumbria and grab a quick ferry to the fantastic offshore Farne Islands. If you’ve had a hard time lately trying to get up close and personal with our feathered friends this place will inspire you.

Suffolk Springtime 2016

Suffolk Springtime 2016

With the promise of some suffolk springtime sunshine for the weekend I thought it was long overdue that I should get the motorhome out of hibernation and head to one of our favourite sites, the Eels Foot at Eastbridge. This is a Caravan Club certified location which means that only 5 vans are permitted at […]
