January 2019 we packed up our house and headed abroad in our motorhome Daphne to “live the dream”. We can honestly say it’s been one big adventure and we have no regrets. Even the thought of living in a house fills us with dread and we love the freedom of the road. Daphne has been good to us, she has worked hard providing us with an engine for travel and a warm comfortable place to call home. We spent 5 months abroad, 4 of these in Portugal and loved our time exploring new worlds, to us anyway. The rest of 2019 has been a mixture of smaller adventures and precious time with family. Always grateful to have this opportunity to take the time to explore and enjoy this one and only life we have. 6 weeks into this leg of our adventures and the dawn of 2020 still sees us grinning from ear to ear.

Slow travel has become our way for of life and it’s been great to spend as long as we want exploring new and old places in the West Country. For years we have traveled to Somerset, Devon and Cornwall and enjoyed the beautiful places just a half a days drive from where we lived. We used to come for a long weekend and sometimes a week if we were lucky. We always left wanting more and wishing we had more time. The time has come and we are now making the most of it.
All the best for 2020. Lets make it a year to remember.
