Dream Holidays
This winter seems to of lasted forever, the thought of feeling the sun on my face and the sand between my toes is keeping me going when really all that I’m getting at the moment is wind through my hair and mud on my boots. Even Dylan commented the other day “I can’t wait to get my shoes and socks off and run in the grass and run around with my friends under blue skies” we are lucky that we have the caravan and we do have some plans to get away this summer but I don’t think it hurts to consider ...

I am by far no expert but I wanted to try and share some tips on travelling to France and tips whilst you are there. You can always have a look at ...
Caravanning with children
Last summer we headed off to France for a couple of weeks towing the caravan. Dylan was 7 years old and Matilda 16 months. We have always camped and we had long weekends away with the caravan but France was the longest time we had been away with the caravan. I thought it would be worth sharing some of the things I have learnt from taking the children away on a caravan holiday. I am sure plenty of people have other tips too so please let me know. We all know how great caravanning is for ...
