This and more stories on blog https://inpursuitofadreamblog.wordpress.com For 15 years we have warned our children about meeting people they have found on the internet. So today we are off to Cirencester Caravan Club Site to meet some people that we have met on, yes, the Internet. If this is our very last blog you know…
The role of fungi Neither plant nor animal, fungi play an essential role in ecosystems helping to breakdown and decay dead matter such as dead animals and leaf litter, returning the nutrients to the soil ready for them to be used again by plants. Some fungi like yeast are tiny and can’t be seen by the naked eye; others…
Haunted! On the last Saturday in October we went to visit Gainsborough Old Hall in Lincolnshire. The three sided building dates from 1460 and was owned by just two families, the Burghs and the Hickmans, before being given to the nation in 1970. It's now run by English Heritage. There have been several visitors of note.…
http://home-is-where-you-drag-it.blogspot.co.uk/ We are having an Indian Summer. The weather in the UK this September and October has been considerably better that what we experienced in June and July, although I fully expect that to change over the next week or so as we hitch up our wobble box and set off on our Autumn…
Much to our tour leaders’ relief, we all made it safely to the ferry and enjoyed a calm 3¼ hour crossing. It is a shame that it rained for most of the trip, but as we neared Picton the cloud tried to lift and we caught glimpses of the tree-filled hills and inlets of Queen Charlotte Sound. Rather than head straight to our…
At Wellington our spirits were somewhat dampened by the rain and a touch of traveller’s fatigue so we did not get into the city until late morning. We soon cheered ourselves up with a Thai lunch and then took shelter from the strong wind in Te Papa, the museum of New Zealand. Currently exhibiting in the museum for the 100…
We left Napier to check out the gannet colony at Cape Kidnappers, but with grey skies and drizzle in the air we decided to sit and enjoy a tranquil cuppa in the motorhome whilst listening to the waves lapping the shore. It was a wonderfully scenic route to Martinborough with more verdant cattle and sheep-filled hills.…
Before heading to Rotorua we popped a few miles north up the coast to the headland at Opito Bay, where we were rewarded with the most beautiful white sandy beach at Otama Beach making the twisty drive well worth it. We drove through beautiful forest to our next stop at Rotorua where we were whisked off to the Te Puia…
Hi everybody Sat Nav’s Just sharing something that happened to me. On the 29th May 2016 I ordered a Garmin Nuvi 2599 LMT-D 5 inch Sat Nav with UK and Full Europe Maps. It arrived in good order and I set it up in my car, from that time on it kept losing the satellite signals and as time went by it started to get worse with…
At Waiotapu Lady Knox Geyser very kindly (with the help of some chemistry) put on an impressive show bang on time at 10:15 after which we took the longest of the walk options around the geothermal area, past many steaming sulphurous pools. We took our tour leader’s advice and stopped at the highly recommended Huka Falls…
