A Very Narrow Journey
9th July 2018 First full day in Venice and we decided to just go explore – I was keen to “get lost” in Venice, after reading The Londoner blog – who said “You haven’t truly been to Venice unless you’ve got lost in Venice” – we are hoping to go to a restaurant recommended by…
8th July 2018 Day 1 of our holiday – we will stay in Venice for 3 nights, then get a train to Naples where we pick up a hire car and drive to the Cilento Coast. I’m going to blog about each day separately – otherwise it would be one VERY long blog! We arrived…
Another camping trip – can’t get enough of them! This time we went to Hardhurst Farm Campsite at Bamford which was great – pretty basic – there’s a cafe that’s open in the mornings, but we prefer Paul to cook us our bacon cobs. So Paul and I went Friday morning and set up the…
Well, as I mentioned previously, we have a new tent and as our niece is visiting this weekend we thought we would drag her off camping in the Peak District. We decided to go back to Ye Olde Royal Oak at Wetton and camp there for the weekend, then Paul and I were going to…
Well it’s my 55th birthday and we’re off on holiday on a narrowboat with some wonderful friends that we have been having these holidays with for the last 20 something years. We absolutely love these holidays and one day we will have our own boat to retire on and just tootle around the canals to…

Arrived at the Barrel Inn on a cold wintery afternoon but lovely and bright and watched…
Hi, lost the plot with this blogging malarky for a while as I was having trouble transferring my photos onto my laptop and kinda gave up! But hubby has kindly sorted it so I’m keen to get back on it. We have a new beautiful family member – a puppy Schnoodle called Tilly and our…
20-21 January 2018 Our Christmas present this year from our daughter and her lovely other half was a weekend in Bath at the Abbey Hotel www.abbeyhotelbath.co.uk. What a brilliant present!!! So at 9.30 Saturday morning – off we went – absolutely chucking it down with rain but never mind. Quite a long journey so we stopped…
29th December 2017 So – today we set off intending to do a circular walk from Dovedale to Milldale and back ……. however, as we didn’t set off till later than planned, darkness began to settle in and when we got to Milldale we decided to go back the way we came. The walk was…
