Annnnnd…we’re off again!

It was whilst watching my beautiful class in their Nativity play that I just decided that it would be my last one for a while. The last one fitting tea towels onto the heads of shepherds, making sure presents were wrapped for the Three Kings and that the music was all ready to go. So, what would I do instead? My choice…buy a small camper van, put Poppy in and take off to see the UK. The catalyst for such a spontaneous decision was devastatingly and suddenly losing dad last summer. The one person I thought could never not be here. Parents seem invincible don’t they? How could someone be here one day and be gone the next? It makes you realise how precious our time is.

As most of you will know, tech is not really my favourite thing (I would much rather be up a tree!) However, lots of folk have asked if I’m writing about my trip which I am, I always do. For every travel experience I have a journal. My bookcase is filled with them. They are just for me to read and to recall anecdotes about my travels. As well as keeping my own personal journal, I will try when I can to also pop something on this blog for those of you that would like to see what the mischievous spaniel and I are up to on our beautiful island.

So in this first post here are a few pictures from our wild camping experience in Lincolnshire and our adventures so far in Yorkshire in Scarborough and Whitby. Currently sat in Whitby with a sleeping spaniel. Little does she know we need to walk the 6 and a half miles back to Robin Hood’s Bay! Shhhh!
