Fir Tree Farm, Warmington, Warwickshire


The last month has been eventful. We have spent time with our family, which was nice, and not so nice we've had to prepare a house for new tenants after it was left in a right state by the outgoing tenants, who didn't think they needed to tell us they'd heard scratching from the attic during the winter. All that aside, we had our late summer holiday to look forward to. Scotland was our plan, but the forecast changed in the weather and the nights drawing in, we decided to leave Scotland for next spring and return to France. Fortunately, just as we were about to book our ferry we had the presence of mind to check how long we had left of our 90 days in Europe. Just five days! Oh dear. So plan B was put in place and we decided we might like to visit the Yorkshire dales, moors and the coast around Whitby. We are only able to be away from home for three weeks as we have another rental property to work on at the end of September. Hopefully Roland and his family haven't moved in to that one! Despite the change in the weather after a glorious summer. we are already thinking about adventures for next year.


Today we stopped enroute for John to purchase a lightweight tent which we will use when we return to walk a little more of the south west coast path. It's always nice to be away in the van, and this evening despite the miserable weather fish fingers sandwiches and salad were the comfort food we needed. Tomorrow we will head to Yorkshire where we are hoping to be able to walk a lot and see some beautiful scenery. Fingers crossed the weather will be kind to us.
