| The Lovely 'Moira' |
Seems ages since I've blogged....actually it is ages!! Jewellery making has taken a back seat since our motorhome arrived. Christened 'Moira' after a friend and a misunderstanding on Facebook when someone thought I was referring to the van and not my good friend Moira!

We've had four trips now and stay away longer and longer each time. I suppose we're practising for our big trip to the south of England later this Summer. We're just so lucky we have Scotland to explore and enjoy. No 'wild' camping as yet...doesn't seem necessary when there are so many official sites in such glorious settings!

My goodness has camping and caravanning changed since last time either of us had such holidays. Our motorhome is a good size warm and comfortable with shower, all cooking facilities, fridge, freezer and TV....even halogen lights....a huge improvement upon torches (now I may have given away how long it is since I went camping!!)
Hannah, our labrador, took to 'Moira' straight away and is no problem as we tour around. As soon as she knows we're off she settles down to snooze on the floor between us. One of our main reasons for buying a motorhome was so we could holiday with Hannah. Most sites welcome well behaved dogs although some are pretty restrictive. The latter we will avoid!

How do we get on in together in a confined space?? Not too badly so far...mind you Mike has not tried to practise on his fiddle of an evening as yet..! We seem to have sorted out the chores...he cooks, I clean up! The only thing I can't abide is muck all over the carpets.....hard to avoid when hill walking is a daily enjoyment..usually in the rain! We need to have something outside where mucky boots and wet clothes can be hung....Does anyone know of a stand alone awning that will fit against an Avantgarde 150?????

What do I love best about it all?? The changing view. I can have a different 'front garden' every day. It can be a remote loch shore or beach one morning and a forest of Scots pines the next...wonderful.

Lovely pictures! Feel I have to holiday there one day and see these places for myself!! Happy 'campervaning' when you venture to the South of England!! (I especially like the pic of Loch Morlich in Rain!) :)
ReplyDeletewhereabouts in the south are you going? if you are anywhere near Stonehenge then give me a shout as I'm just around the corner ....

ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos.
ReplyDeleteThank you for all your kind comments!! I think it would be very difficult to take a bad photo of Loch Morlich...the place is just stunning whatever the weather.
ReplyDelete@magic making hands...Thank you! not sure where we're going yet other than Colchester!!
What beautiful photos! I am looking forward to visiting Scotland someday to trace my lineage! My boyfriend wants to have a vehicle like yours when we retire to do the same thing in the United States. It is such a wonderful way to see a country! ~Val
