So on our first weekend away we had an issue with the boiler.
Gas Failure message! We were on an CAMC site with electricity so no big deal we just thought our gas bottle was almost empty, which it was.
OOps We Did A Thing!
So Recently on a Saturday with nothing else planned it was decided that we should visit a Farm Shop that Mrs CA had seen on the Instaweb thingy.
Said shop was in Mossley. A surprisingly nice little shop with some nice produce and Not Extortionate prices. Various veg was procured and we left when I announced that there is another shop I had seen a sign for but never visited over between Stalyvagus (Stalybridge) & Mottram. Another nice little shop actually on the Farm. Cool kids play area and Alpacas.
France, Here We Come
Today we set off for France. First stop La Tranche Sur Mer in the Vendée.
We are catching the overnight ferry from Portsmouth to Cean leaving about a 4 hour drive to La Tranche, a bit longer if we opt to use the Non Toll roads.
Cornwall May ’25
We have just returned from a fab week in Cornwall, mixed weather but Paul still returned with a sun tan.
Us at Newquay Towan BeachWe stayed at Sunny Meadows Tourist Park at Goonhaven just outside Perranporth.

Updates
Well Did I blog our trip to France in 2024?
Did I hell!
I relaxed and totally forgot about blogging. We did take pictures of course so I have added a Gallery section to the site where you can see some of them.
We also went to Anglesey & Edinburgh in ’24 so I have added those as well.
Sorry to disappoint you all ( yeah right) but the wine and cheese were just too good and too plentiful.
But it’s 2025 and a full program of camping is already planned to you never know?
OK I wouldn’t hold my breath if I were you either.
France 24
It’s almost time to depart old Blighty for la Belle France. 4 days to be exact! Woohoo!! Excited!
Update
So our trip to France went really well!
We headed off to a small but perfectly formed campsite called Le Chant D’Oiseau just outside of Saumur. A perfect location from which to explore the Loire Valley.
But! On the way home we stayed 1 night on a ferry pitch just outside Dover and when hitching up in the morning my back went! Ouch!
We’re Off
So It’s Friday, it’s 5:45 & it’s time for Crackerjack!
Well no it’s time for our return to France!
Almost Time
It’s almost time. Time for our return to our beloved France.
There is nothing quite like camping in France, the French just seem to do it better, or is that just the wine and cheese talking?
We have not been to France since 2019, the year Before COVID so we are really looking forward to getting back in 2 weeks time.
