I can't help thinking that women throughout the land rushed home from doing thee school run to open the Prosecco and jump up and down in joy.

I've booked a couple of nights at the club site in Southport and another couple in a c/l near Clitheroe in May with a plan to make a couple of weeks out of it. Boris permitting of course If that fails I've booked a cottage at the back end of June. If that fails I've still got my river cruise on...

My idea of a perfect aire in the UK is a space to park in a town within hailing distance of the sites and the bars and restaurants that permits overnight sleeping for a minimum of two nights. It doesn't have to have any facilities but a toilet dump (chargeable) would be nice and a tap...

Another year with a pass on my old Herald Templar. Nine years in a row with a pass. One advisory this year, unfortunately, the front and rear exhaust pipes are rusted and starting to leak. Never mind, another year of using the old girl.

One day last week a well dressed Irishman knocked on the door and asked if my van was for sale for a very good price. He kept on about paying me what I paid for it eight years ago. It was for his father who wanted a smaller van. I declined his kind offer but expected it would be gone by morning...

I've just looked at the V5 for the van and noticed there is an "O" missing from my surname. I've only had the thing for eight years and now that it's been returned to them for alteration I expect to pay the price of my admission.

It's rumoured that these will be placed in all car parks to discourage overnight parking. The first person to transgress becomes the victim.

SWMBO has given me permission to disappear by myself for a few days next week in the van for the first time without the dog. The plan was to just move west a little and do not things like the tank museum and Fleet Air Arm museum, but that doesn't open until the middle of the month, anyone got...

I posted on this Facebook group this morning about their mass write in to all sorts of organisations like the NT and Forestry Commission could stop us using these spots that have been used for years with an increase in signs. I felt they should be campaigning for Aires in towns and villages...

Just had the email. Club sites will have everything open. Cl's can be but phone.

The dog and I leave Portsmouth bound for the North at the end of next week. The target is the West Coast 300. Given the weather should I go up the east or west side of the country?

I don't think its going to be the same at meets anymore. As we sit around the smokeless fuel pit throwing coffee logs onto the fire.

I hope no one was planning to catch a ferry to or from Spain today lots of cancellations and diversions.

Last year the starlings roosted above the van spaces after doing their murmuration. The van was covered in guano. Does anyone know if they are still about as may pass through again at the end of the month.

Swmbo has signed the exeat, yet again, permitting the dog and myself to travel alone in the first weeks of March. My initial thoughts are a slow run up to the SW300 and a slow drive back to Pompey, weather permitting. Perhaps you have some thoughts?

People are constantly reporting "no overnighting" signs going up, quickly followed by someone else saying the sign has no legal standing. Is there a definitive way of knowing whether it is legal? I've heard it said that it should have a TRO number on it but in my many years of looking at signs...

Today was my day for arranging my car insurance and did the comparison site thing before ringing AIB for my renewal price. I've saved £35 by going elsewhere. Between Xmas and New Year I'll be looking for my motorhome insurance. On the basis that cheap is beautiful where should I try? Apart from...

I took the old girl into the bodyshop today for her annual tart up, having got her through the mot with no problems. I asked how much it'll cost me. £80 came the reply. I'll happily pay that.

These signs seem to be sprouting up along Southsea seafront. Are they legal and enforceable?

You book it in for the MOT then have an anxious wait until the day arrives. You take it to the garage, give it word of encouragement before leaving it there. Then you wait, like a father outside the maternity unit, for the dreaded phonecall. I went through this with my 24 year old van this week...
