Food for thought
In 2018 I was one of the twelve amateur bakers to be selected as contestants on The Great British Bake Off. As much as I love to bake, I love to cook too, especially when I am away on holiday.
If you want to dine out its there for you. Around and about campsites, there is always a good pub or restaurant to enjoy a meal. If you fancy a take away, you can have one, or if you want to relax making a special meal in the caravan, of course you can. That is the beauty of this style of holiday, “your holiday, your way”.
Caravanning with Pets
As many already know, we originally stumbled into caravanning entirely by mistake when we were given our first caravan from a family member, as it was no longer wanted or needed. However, if we fast-forward, caravanning has become the ideal form of holidaying for us as it has allowed us, and many others, the perfect opportunity to bring our pets.

One of the things about owning a motorhome is the freedom you just wouldn’t get from a package holiday… it’s about being able to go wherever (and whenever) you want.
This is why people venture south to the Mediterranean for some winter sun.

High Culture in Europe in the New Endeavour B62 – Part 1
Camping. The Great Outdoors. Green open space, sturdy walking boots, rugged trousers, and hardy waterproofs. A typical image when one thinks of time away camping. However, one tends to think less of the high culture associated with camping—fine wines, art galleries, sculptures, the ballet or opera, or the Philharmonic. Dinner Jackets and Evening Gowns rather than raincoats and woolly hats.
