Several of our friends have invested in camper vans/ motor homes, and they do look cosy and seem like a convenient option. Go wherever you fancy, no need to pay for a hotel, no need to put a tent up in the rain, never forget...

Fleur That was OK. I'm reasonably used to bigger vehicles and it did have a useful reversing camera - though thankfully none of those maddening alarms.

Some of you may not like this song if you listen to it but it’s just meant to be a bit of fun. It's called Little Gomez and was on the list at Eric Bogle’s concert which we attended on Wednesday evening. Eric said it was based on...

Fleur @JudyEv I looked up 'Nobody's Moggy' too. Sad but amusing. He's a great entertainer isn't he? I would like to get the chance to see him live.

I’ve written a little about New Norcia, Australia's only monastic town. In the beginning, two Spanish Benedictines, a French and an English Benedictine and an Irish catechist were charged with going to the region and ministering...

We went BCF today. That’s a Boating, Fishing and Camping shop. We needed to get our gas bottle filled. We’re planning to go away in the motor-home next week, just for three nights but it’s better than nothing. The shop has...

Fleur You can never make too much compost, if you have a garden! I have eight compost bins and all our food waste (peelings etc) goes in as well as grass clippings, twigs, leaves, paper and cardboard. I shred up larger branches to add, and in autumn I gather fallen...

So I was looking at something offered to me for free. It didn’t appeal to me, but I was reading more about the product, and it said at one point, not even in capital letters, that it can cause cancer, birth defects, or other...

Fleur @snowy22315 Many everyday items contain poisonous substances, in most cases it's all about the dosage. Even foods have 'allowable limits' of pesticides and things like that which are known to cause serious harm at high doses.

West Cork is a new part of Ireland for me and I’m loving it. Small, well-kept towns along the coast, well beyond the influence of Dublin and its grasping ways. A much milder climate than what I’m accustomed to up on the north-east...

Fleur I spent a couple of weeks in West Cork some years ago, it's a wonderful place (at least in summer!) And I totally agree with you about the drinks. I'm not normally that keen on Guinness but drinking it there was a different experience. I also enjoyed Beamish...

Fleur Our only remaining local pub is a Hungry Horse. I can't say I've been too impressed on the occasions I've eaten there, but then I've been I think twice or maybe three times since we moved here in 2007.
