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.

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!

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.

Rallying in a Caravan

A rally is a cheap and social way of camping. It’s not for everyone as sometimes facilities are somewhat limited. Very limited! But the rewards can be great.
