The Bartlett Diaries on Narrowboat Hang Loose
6th January 2018 Paul found a 7 mile walk around Chatsworth, courtesy of sallymosley.co.uk so we decided that although the weather forecast was lots of rain, we would toddle off anyway – I was very keen to go out as I have a new pair of trousers and new gloves to try out! Walking through…
Last two Days of our Fabulous Holiday – 19th and 20th July 2018 and we’re going to visit the Amalfi Coast We had a really relaxing day by the pool at our beautiful Casale Giancesare – drank water all day – well, until we had wine in the evening – as we really haven’t been…
I’m sat waiting for Tilly to finish having her hair cut – she wasn’t too happy going in – I didn’t want to leave her – the groomer said she had a few matted bits at the back of her front legs that she would have to clip out – so I’m hoping she doesn’t…
Peak District The forecast today was for light showers so we decided to go for a trek up Kinder in the Peak District – we were going to go camping but as there was rain forecast for Sunday we changed our mind! It was quite nice at the start of the walk – no rain….
17th – 18th July 2018 We had a beautiful chilled out day at two amazingly gorgeous villages called Castellabate and Santa Maria di Castellabate – I cannot explain how fabulous these villages are – so unspoilt and quiet – if you like to be away from it all then the Cilento Coast is the place…
16th July 2018 We really are having the best holiday – everywhere we’ve been has been amazing. The Cilento Coast is beautiful – and it’s so un-touristy! There’s so much to see – you could spend weeks here! Anyway, today we went to Salerno to swap our hire car and got a lovely new improved…
14th July 2018 Today was our final move and we go to another agriturismo called Casale Giancesare – found this in The Lonely Planet guide and it sounds amazing – this may be because they have their own vineyard!!! Seriously though – it does sound lovely and great reviews on Trip Advisor too. So we…
13th July 2018 We are now in Paestum on the Cilento Coast, staying at Portasirena for one more night before moving on to Casale Giancesare for the remainder of our holiday. We woke up to a beautiful sunny morning – threw open the windows to this: The surroundings are glorious – mountains all around…
12th July 2018 So, today was the day we left Venice – it has been so amazing – better than amazing – I have wanted to come here for so long and it was everything I hoped it would be. If Venice is a place you have been thinking of visiting but you have maybe…
11th July 2018 Last full day in Venice – tomorrow we travel via Naples to Paestum on the Cilento Coast. First stop – the Basilica di Santa Maria – very beautiful and impressive. Bit of a rainy day today – took a stroll to find some lunch and had a lovely meal sat outside by […]
