Fixit man in Hetaklion then stopped answering our calls so he was obviously too busy! We won't be using the mh between now and end July as house guests and will fly back to the uk when my first grandchild arrives. So I'll book repairs on the Greek mainland. There's a newish place near Athens...

At Fiat in Heraklion atm ... fixing cab heating, so will see if I can identify the ignition switch and clean it. The clicking stops, so reading the above and link to previous Annie's issue, it sounds more like that. BTW, no ignition battery. And I'll dig out the model no. Thanks guys

We had a new controller unit 18 months ago, thinking that was causing the previous fridge problems. In the end, it was a blocked supply! But, fortunately, I have the old and probably OK controller, with us! But could do with identifying the fault before we pay to replace it. Ho hum ...

Grr. The f/f worked fine 3 weeks ago so it hasn't all seized up. But now it thinks it is working on gas, as no error message. I know we have gas. But what is strange is that it is not even clicking to fire up when I switch it on and off. Well, it gives are half hearted double click and then...

Atlas Obscura: great for visiting, often small, but unusual places. Always check what is nearby. Found some gems. Banking apps. Life must go on with moving money around and paying bills. Organic Maps: creators formerly sold Maps.Me. I put coloured pins on for walks, attractions, parking's...

We spent 6 weeks touring in Albania, but in the car and accommodation. Fascinating history and sites as UFO describes. But the driving in Tirana was the worst we have ever experienced. I would never drive there again, let alone in a mh. It was the only place a waiter tried to rip us off...

And dogs difficult in Holland. We found some campsites and Aires limited the number of dogs to 2, 1 or none at all. Walking off lead places are hard to find. Priority always to bikes. Belgium much easier all round.

I went from a C estate to a Forrester. Had always liked the look of them. Great car. I left the lights on once and flattened the battery. The breakdown chap said that was the only reason he ever got called out to Subarus, as so reliable. BUT I could just not get comfortable in the driving...

We did too. Totally set up for tourists. Beggars. More expensive menus. Cheap samey tat in the markets. Would recommend anyone to avoid.

Sicily is large with lots of historic sites and places to visit. We spent 3 months there! 10 days totally insufficient. Sardinia is absolutely fine for wilding. Corsica has beautiful scenery but all the restaurants had virtually the same menu (early summer). Used campsites and whole vibe...

To be controversial... we found being in the car touring Morocco was better than being in the motorhome. We travelled roads with amazing scenery that we would not have been able to in the motorhome.

Used to be a school. James' cousins worked there as teacher nuns.

The Wee Hurrie is the best fried fish I've ever had. Years ago Iamthegooddan (forgotten his forum name) introduced us to it. Can still remember my sole as it was that good.

As you come off the ferry at Tangier Med, there are some low buildings on the left, with parking in between. The insurance building is the last ove on the left. The inwi mobile sim, shop is the same side, the other end. Of course, all very easy when you know how! Driving fine, Albania worse...

Had 3 for years. One in each car and one in the mh. Best invention and not expensive. We use a knife to prise apart and it goes in the dishwasher. Andy Janet. How is the new pooch working out? Pix.

Have pm you. K

Amazing isn't it. So steep and narrow. We arrive Igouminitsa tomorrow evening. So excited to ge back in Greece.

At the Tunnel in Folkestone. Pet check in done and walking back to the van ... nearly run over by a horn tooting maniac! None other than Tim! Have a great trip all the Snowbirds '25. KandJx

James had a similar situation a few years ago. He was borderline on peripheral vision on the eye test. But Specsavers did the test 3 times till they thought it ok. We'd gone abroad thinking everything in hand. DVLA asked for a specialist test. We couldn't get the specific test in Greece so sent...

24 hrs on ehu sorted lithiums. Hab and minor engine service done yesterday. MOT passed advisory on brake discs, seems pads replaced over worn discs! Spent our first night in the mh last night. All seems to be working. 😊 Back to Devon in the car to sort a house we're selling for a few days and...
