Since restrictions have been gradually eased up we have been more encouraged to travel outside of borough of Haringay. After visiting Broomfield Park on the No.121 route, we decided to visit Grovelands Park near Southgate Station.
Having photocopied the Southgate Areas map, we took the No.121 bus from Wood Green and got off at Southgate station. Following the map, we found the main road The Bourn Read on...
I woke up first and had a sneaky look outside the window to find us approaching land so ventured outside to the balcony in my pjs to see we were approaching the port. We ventured into the harbour and I could see the pilot jump onboard as they dont seem to trust these cruise ship captains to navigate entering each port.
As we docked we watched these three guys trying to built a temporary sign belo Read on...
Now we can go anywhere, and into Dads bubble too, weve been quite busy! On Saturday evening we got a takeaway and ate at Dads house, its a long time since hes for a meal. Then today, Alex chose the seaside for his day off, so thats what we did. Youd think it would feel funny after hardly driving at all, but it actually felt pretty normal. We had a good walk over the dunes and along the beach, befo Read on...
Took a trip to Attleboro today and visited my old stomping ground. The house my grandfather built for us circa 1946 is still standing. The house and yard that 8 of us, that I thought were so large as a child, now appear so small.

Leaving a city like Barcelona is not the easiest thing to do. Sure, its fairly from a logistical point of view, but from a travelers point of view, it is more challenging. Barcelona is a fabulous place that provided a marvelous time for us. It is no small wonder why people rave about it. But...it was time to move on. Wed been on the road for over 40 days and seen great places, great friends and e Read on...
This morning we docked at Kratie Town during breakfast. We were able to watch from the dining room as we were tied up to the rickety timber platform that serves as the dock here. The street on the riverbank was lined with tents and people and had a festive air about it. Leng explained that officially the Water Festival is celebrated in Phnom Penh between the 10th and 12thof November, however it is Read on...

Last day of our drive north through France. We have so enjoyed the drive that we have decided that our June motorhome trip will be spent in France and nowhere more exotic or adventurous. The lovely long straight N roads are such a pleasure to travel along.
