A new chapter begins! After 3+ years living full time in the motorhome – travelling 35,000 miles through 20 countries around Europe – we’ve moved into a house with no wheels! This has been 4 years in the making – Bev was already dreaming of running a smallholding when she finished work back in 2018! …
Happy New Year folks! From our little house on wheels to our friends all over the world – All the best! So, what’s new? We spent July to November on an awesome 7,000 mile trip around Europe. So many highlights! Our 3rd summer tour to Sweden – it’s definitely a tradition now. After the smallholding …

Two fantastic shows to banish the corona blues in Sweden, following local guidelines for live music of course – 50 people max, social distancing, etc. Can’t beat live music 😊 A warm welcome at Strandkompaniet near Ystad in southern …
Looking back at lockdown in a van – 2 adults + 2 dogs in a box 6m by 2m – at times strange, intense and worrying! But in many ways we count ourselves lucky.
Here’s my 2nd live streaming gig, beamed live from our van, Stargazer!
Some original songs and a few covers to close the first virtual Camp Quirky festival…
We’ve really put our van through its paces in terms of winter camping this year, and it’s been great! It’s a Benimar Mileo motorhome, model 201. Ours is from late 2015 and includes…
