We’re all big Harry Potter fans in this household so you can imagine our joy when we heard the news about the Studio tours at Leavesden opening up. Christmas at Harry Potter Studios is was our first experience of the tour and we’ve been lucky enough to go a further time as well in the […]

Edinburgh is one of my favourite cities in the world and one that I’ve been privileged to visit many times. I’ve also been in every season but winter in Edinburgh is without a doubt one of my favourites. The capital city of Scotland is popular at any time of the year – so why should […]
Welcome to part three of our camper van conversion diary and the one where we did something I’d never even considered – sound deadening a van! If you’re the same and have never known it was something to do then read on. This will be a short post today because as you’ll soon see, sound […]
It has to be one of my favourite places in Cornwall – St Ives. I’m not sure quite what appealed to me about this place rather than many of the other villages in the area, but there’s something quite special about it. It has a great vibe, small enough to walk round on foot and […]

There’s a new and popular driving route in Scotland called the NC500, North Coast 500, which some even say is like Scotland’s Route 66. I’m not so sure on that one since we’ve driven both now, but if it works to boost tourism in the area then I guess it’s worth it! What Scotland’s north […]
If you haven’t already seen part one of the campervan conversion series then head here to see how we chose a van and prepped it ready for the interior. The prep work definitely felt a bit boring, a bit safe and didn’t do too much to change the van from how it was originally looking. […]
In my last post I mentioned that we had taken on a new challenge which will bring with it new adventures. That challenge was to turn a scrappy old council van into something that will take us on trips and be a new home for us. A van conversion was always something we had considered, […]
Every so often I feel like I should give a bit of an update as to what we’re doing on this site. This blog is 6 years old now and things have definitely changed over the years! In the past we’ve tried out a number of different ways to travel. Our first stint of travelling […]
