Final Days in Northern Ireland & Ferry Bound In Rosslare
Our second night in the van we decided if this was to be home for the foreseeable future we should start behaving like it – people needed fed. Anyone who has shared a kitchen with me will tell you that I need space – lots of space – I use every utensil, pot, pan, plate, […]
Disembarking And Parking At Cherbourg
Kelpie the motorhome is parked up in the aire at Cherbourg, provided free of charge by the lovely people there, and within a spit of where we disembarked the ferry. The aire in Cherbourg is located in the docks area close to where the ferries berth. It is fairly new and much needed in the […]
Searching For A Tap In Rennes – Grey Water Leak
Kelpie is parked in another free aire on the side of peaceful parkland outside the town of Rennes in France (48.11845, -1.59105).

Camped Out At Vendrennes Catching Up On Chores
Kelpie has settled for a couple of days in Campsite del la Motte, in the quiet village of Vendrennes, France (46.825623, -1.117577). It wasn’t difficult to pick out this campsite en route, most of the campsites in France close in October and this was one of the few open all year round. We arrived in […]
Coulon, Venice Vert – The Green Venice

Hemmed In By A Pony & Cart at Lignières Sonneville!
Kelpie is hemmed in on all sides by lots of cars and a pony and cart at Lignières Sonneville, France. (45.5567, -0.1828) I finally managed to get the letters posted home before we left Coulon. We sorted out our co-ordinates for today and told Sally and Dory where we wanted to go. We’re even on […]
