Weekends

Friday 7th – Sunday 9th March 2025 Day 1 This time we’re ferry-bound for the Isle of Wight – but not before Steve gets creative with directions and ignores the maps. Twice. Not lost exactly… just taking the “scenic almost-wrong-turn route” to the ferry port. Once we finally got there Read more

Friday 20th – Monday 23rd September 2024 Day 1 We kicked off the Emmerdale weekend with an early start (because nobody enjoys traffic), and although the roads were long, they were relatively quiet… until they weren’t. Cue: inevitable shitty traffic. Arrived at the hotel, checked into a decent enough room, Read more

Saturday 20th – Monday 22nd April 2024 Day 1 Long, uneventful flight (standard) and we finally touched down in Boston – cue tired legs and puffy faces. Checked into a very lovely hotel with even lovelier views and, to our surprise, a glorious burst of sunshine. We flirted with the Read more

Friday 8th – Monday 11th March 2024 Day 1 Vikki’s birthday! 🎉 We loaded up the car, swung by to collect the campervan, and chucked everything in with a very “we’ll sort it later” energy. On the road by 11:30am. Drive was pretty uneventful, bar a slightly-too-close encounter with a Read more

Friday 26th – Saturday 27th January 2024 Day 1 Unsure if we were actually going to make it away on our first adventure of 2024 we didn’t start looking forward to it until we actually set off first thing Friday. We were very lucky with the weather so it was Read more

Saturday 7th – Sunday 8th October 2023 Day 1 We arrived in Cardiff full of excitement… only to find we couldn’t check in yet. So, with bags in tow, we set off for a wander around the city and headed towards the Senedd (Welsh Parliament). After a look around, we Read more

Saturday 6th – Monday 8th May 2023 Day 1 After watching a bit of the Kings coronation we headed off on our Bristol adventure. Driving in torrential rain meant it was very much a roof up journey with the first stop for fish and chips (or chips and gravy for Read more

Friday 24th – Monday 27th February 2023 With uncertainty around any plans for the year going last minute was the only way to go, so with just a few weeks to go we walked into a travel agent, with a date and budget in mind, asked them where we should Read more

Saturday 18th – Sunday 19th February 2023 Not our normal weekend away, as there were a few extra bodies on board but still a trip to Brighton! An afternoon shopping, a trip to the pier and an evening of meatballs, soggy garlic bread, distorting photos and questionable board games! We Read more

Saturday 31st December 2022 – Monday 2nd January 2023 Day 1 With a child free New Year’s Eve looming what better to do than close our eyes, put our finger on a map and book a weekend away! After settling on Cambridge we discovered a formal New Year’s Eve Gala Read more
