About Me

My photo
Hi! I'm Eunice and I live in Bolton, Lancashire, with my two dogs Sophie and Sugar and an assortment of cats - well it used to be Sophie and Sugar, now it's Sophie and Poppie. I first began camping back in 1997 when my then partner took me to Anglesey for my birthday weekend. We slept in the back of the car - a hatchback - using the cushions off the settee at home as a mattress, and cooked and brewed up on a single burner camping stove. The site was good, the views were great, the weather fantastic and I was completely hooked. Following that weekend we got a two-man tent and some proper accessories and returned to Anglesey two weeks later, then over time we progressed to a three-man tent followed by an old trailer tent, then a new trailer tent, a campervan and finally a caravan. When my partner decided that the grass was greener on the other side of the street - literally - in April 2009 and I suddenly found myself alone after fifteen years, I decided there was no way I was going to give up camping and caravanning if I could cope on my own. This blog is the story of my travels, trials and tribulations since becoming a solo camper - I hope you like it

Wednesday December 20th 2017 - To all my blog readers



Have a really lovely Christmas everyone, wherever you are and whatever you do - I hope it's a good one for everyone.

    Thanks Eileen, I'll pass on your best wishes to Michael. Give Annie a cuddle from me, I'm sure Sophie and Poppie would wave their paws at you if they could :)

    And as for not seeing the giraffe twice I was concentrating on where I was going, not looking for escaped 'zoo' animals! :) Anyway, I didn't know exactly which street he lives on, but at least next time I'm round that way I'll know where to find him :)

    Eunice, just came over from your comment on Traveling Cats (Larry the tabby in Dover, Delaware). Had to say HI to a fellow cat lover!

    Hi Jean, and thanks for your comment. I love cats, got my first one back in 1972 and have had them ever since. I currently have three - Mouse, Mog and Moomin - though I did have 16 at one time. None of them feature on this blog as I don't take them camping with me but there's a couple of posts about Mouse 1 and 2 on my other blog here -

I really appreciate good comments - who doesn't? - but due to a recent tide of spam from anonymous readers all comments will now be moderated, and only those with a direct bearing on this blog will be published. I'm sure my regular blog readers/commenters will understand the need for this - and to anyone whose comment isn't published, you know why.
