Balloch, Loch Lomond, Scotland
Another Atlantic storm to make driving challenging. This time Dennis blowing a gale and flooding the motorway through the Southern Uplands of Scotland. We’re still novices, so no surprises that it took three attempts to get Herdy level enough on her ramps. Electricity, gas, water (hot and cold) and TV are almost a routine now.…

Impulse Purchase

Some, we liked (Adria, Hymer, Bürstner) – others we hated (Chausson, Laika); it wasn’t always obvious why we had this almost emotional reaction to the different brands and…
