Staycation Dorset - Day 2Had a lie in this morning. We were always going to have a lazy day of reading and dog walking. As it was sunny we got the chairs and new table out. We even gave the wind out awning a few minutes air Posted by InvictaMoto in Devall Travels | May 1, 2023
Staycation Suffolk - Day 4Thursday Evening. The Garden House CL was really nice. It was a little noisy on the road outside. This was due to the A12 roadworks closing the road and traffic seeking an alternative route to the A14 and the North Sea Posted by InvictaMoto in Devall Travels | Apr 28, 2023
Staycation Suffolk - Day 2 & 3Wednesday.

Staycation Suffolk - Barn Owl Meadow CLArrived at the CL at around 4.45pm. We decided to override the satnav and take the M11 route rather than the A12. Why? The directions from the owners expected us to come that way. The satnav might not have brought us Posted by InvictaMoto in Devall Travels | Apr 25, 2023

Staycation April #1 - Back of Beyond - Part 3Saturday afternoon NB. This post and one photo was sent to the blog from my Gmail account.

Staycation Spring 2023 #1/4At last. The SMS had worked and we are booked into the Paddocks. It does seem hit or miss for those sites that don't seem to use the internet that much. It was far simpler using the CLbooking app and website. Anyway, this Posted by InvictaMoto in Devall Travels | Apr 13, 2023
Life Loves To Kick You In The Teeth. The day before we left Scotland, we all thought Peter was getting better. He got up, showered, shaved, put on new clo Posted by irenevt in Going Home For A Visit 2023. | Apr 11, 2023
Staycation April #1Watching too many vlogs on YouTube has made us want to get away again in the new van. So far we have only been out to Tesco to fill with diesel and then to Sissinghurst Castle Garden for a run Posted by InvictaMoto in Devall Travels | Apr 11, 2023
Staycation Summer 2023 #1/3Wow. With Motorhomes and Camper Vans still selling beyond the expectations of many in the industry it does seem rather odd that when someone wanting to spend money is ignored totally. It's a week since I contacted the two next nearest Posted by InvictaMoto in Devall Travels | Apr 5, 2023
Staycation Summer 2023 #1/2Oh well. Back to the planning board! I had an email this morning from the certified location that was nearest to the Bosworth Battlefield.

Staycation Spring 2023 #4Sadly this trip isn't purely a pleasure trip as part of it is so Claire can attend the funeral of her Uncle Michael in Salisbury. I had planned to get away over the May Bank Holiday weekend anyway. Part of the Posted by InvictaMoto in Devall Travels | Mar 28, 2023
Staycation Spring 2023 #2 Fen Farm Day 2 & 3I guess there's not much to say about Day 2. We had an ealry start to the day as Reggie behave differently when in the van to when he is at home. He generally has a last pee at about Posted by InvictaMoto in Devall Travels | Mar 24, 2023
Staycation Spring 2023 #2 Fen FarmWe were finally packed up and ready to leave just before 11am. The drive up towards the Dartford Crossing was very odd as the Ohrex Satnav seemed to think we needed to go through London. Even once we ignored it and Posted by InvictaMoto in Devall Travels | Mar 22, 2023
Staycation Spring 2023 #2After quite a bit of rain we had been wondering about the condition of the grass pitches at Fen Farm. I did email to thank them for the information pack and to say that due to the tide, we wouldn't Posted by InvictaMoto in Devall Travels | Mar 21, 2023
