Poole


Last night the wind blew across the marshland. Marge shook, rattled but luckily did not roll. It was a tad breezy wasn't it, Marge? Home today.First how about one more cheeky little day out Marge? Take us to Lymington. Cornish pasties and ice cream await.





We always feel sad when our trip comes to an end. It is now four weeks since we set off and now must return home to attend to some matters. We are grateful for the fine weather, the beautiful scenery, stunning sunsets and the people we've met along the way. That aside, we hope to take Marge away for a couple of weeks at the end of July. There's just no stopping us.


It was just after four when we eventually arrived home. The garden looked a little windswept. We'd missed the best of the roses and the poppies, although a few blooms held on for our return. Washing on within half an hour it soon felt like we'd never been away. Everything around us just seemed virtually the same. Time had stood almost still in our neighbourhood for the last four weeks. 

Rest up Marge. We've had trials and tribulations, laughs, despair, jubilation, tight spots, stresses and strains but we're all stronger for them. For anyone who's interested, information on the internet says you can sit on your toilet whilst your campervan or motorhome is in transit. Didn't mention if this included the driver! Might need to do a risk assessment Marge. 

We hope you've enjoyed travelling with us and Marge and will come along with us on our next journey. Thanks for reading, we hope we and Marge have entertained you.

Thank you Glastonbury for providing overnight parking for vans. There is a campaign underway in the U.K. for councils, village halls, community centres, sports clubs etc; to allow campervans and motorhomes to park in their empty car parks overnight. It's not rocket science guys. We pay a small fee, up to ten pounds. We wont leave rubbish or empty waste water and you receive money for your funds. You can even trust us to put money in a donation box, a scheme already running in Scotland. If you know of a facility, please put this idea forward to the person who can make decisions on such things. Thank you. 

One final hit of patchouli and white sage before leaving Glastonbury. Right Marge, home please. Slow and steady now. And guess what, our next stop is the garage for you to have a health check.  A pressure sensor fitted, and talk of a new ignition switch and Marge was considered well enough for another trip. O.K. Marge, just a couple of days away next week then.
