Having returned on Saturday from Tenby and a night in the Ramada Inn in Coventry we find ourselves entirely squatting at Sue and Al’s house. Sunday was a Carvery roast at the Toby Carvery at Stonebridge, the problem is although you fill your plate up you can’t eat it all………..not any more!!!! Today, Monday, is…

Caldey Island As the day was sunny and the sea calm Penny and I decided to take a boat trip around the local Caldey Island. The brochure talked about seals , cranes and puffins. We were exited as we didn’t see any puffins on the Isle of Mull but when we spoke to the organisers…

Tenby Our first look around Tenby, a very stylish town with lots of nice coloured houses. We drove down to the town and parked for the first time in a EV parking spot to charge the hybrid Peugeot. Felt very clever, opened the new charge cable plugged it all in and away we went. After…

A train ride into Edinburgh along with hundreds of Oasis fans travelling to Murrayfield Stadium for a concert, to say it was noisy and the fact somebody pulled the emergency cord and stopped the train, well it was fun…… We met up with Rebecca, Josh and Colleen for a pre Tattoo drink and a local…

A free day in Scotland so made a start at the iconic Kelpies which we had only seen in passing from the road. It was very busy as it is still school holidays here in Scotland and the weather is surprisingly warm, the temp now at 3-30pm is reputed to be 25 degrees. The Kelpies…
