A retired couple from North Wales, enjoying life in their classic motorhome as often as possible, trying hard to be fully off-grid. We were an engineer and a children's nurse, we worked in the Middle East for a while and married in 1982

Came home to a months worth of junk mail - not the consultants appointment my wife was expecting, but never mind it is all water off a ducks back to us!

Our final sundown of Jayne's retirement tour. Watching this with a chip buttie and a glass of orange juice is just blissful. As much as we love where we live in North Wales we are going to miss things like this. No TV or radio for over a month but plenty of audiobooks - I can recommend it.

So here I was minding my own business and this great egret flew from behind the tree. I would not like to be speared by him or her.

The motorhome is stored in a barn at a mates farm, so will get some respite after a tough month with the weather conditions. Not sure what we are doing next but our feet are certainly itchy.

Halfway home after a Four hour drive and now parked up at Bosworth lakeside leaving us with a similar journey on Sunday to home The wind certainly kept us on our toes whilst driving, thankfully most other road users were also very careful today Great seeing the wildlife and not fully dark at 5pm

We are as about East as you can go in the UK and keep getting weather warnings for home in North Wales. We are returning home next week meanwhile everyone please stay safe the weather is changing by the minute.

It is so much drier and the couple of degrees up in temperature makes quite a difference. It was the 1st time we have seen rain this year, and it was only a quick shower. Yesterday was the first day we did not gain solar power, so it must have been really overcast, a better solar forecast tomorrow

I have been mostly absent from social media since Christmas as we are on my wife's retirement tour, now entering our last week before returning home to North Wales for a short while before the next motorhome adventure. Just got caught in a rain shower whilst on Kessingland beach now time for a brew

It certainly feels like the coldest night of our trip so far, but worth it just to watch the fantastic setting sun over Suffolk.

Had a wonderful day in Southwold today, now in our Third week of Jayne's retirement tour. There were people swimming in the sea, and I was struggling to stay warm with 2 coats on!

It is nice to look out of the rear window and see nothing but blue skies and sunshine, but blooming heck it is cold here on the further most Eastern point of the UK. Now into the Third week of Jayne's retirement tour. A visit to Southwold is on the agenda today.

Day between 12 and 14 of Jayne's retirement tour and I think we are about as far East in the UK as you can park up on a site. Within 100 yards of the North Sea near Lowestoft. It is lovely here.

I had never watched a tree creeper in action until yesterday, since being retired I think I have learnt more than any other period in my life. Maybe having time to observe is the answer, and I should have made more time in the past. Either way isn't nature wonderful?

Day 11 of Jayne's retirement tour and a quick look at the variety of places we have stayed so far. Pubs, campsite, racecourse, and alongside a WW2 aircraft hanger.

I am quiet on here at the moment as we are just getting into week Two of Jayne's retirement tour. Woke up to this weather alert, it is the story of my life "living on the edge". We are currently in Needham on a site behind The Red Lion pub, I cannot think of anywhere better to be seeking shelter.

It could be, but when you open the door nothing can be seen, even when shining a torch up. Maybe just the infra red picking it up? It is quite bizarre to watch.

Really strange weather conditions setting off the motorhome outside motion detector but when we step outside you can not see anything with the naked eye. It is not raining and it looks like the fog is finally lifting.

It is pal, an hour left today and 12 more on Thursday and she is a free lady. It has been a tricky time keeping my gob shut about the way that have treated her but we are nearly there now thankfully. Just looking forward to some adventures in the van now!

Whilst in a reception area this afternoon I mentioned to the chap behind the desk that Sky News has really gone downhill as it was on in the background with subtitles. I have not watched it since just after the election He told me that Ian King has left them, he was One of the few I still respected

Just watched Rachel Reeves talking in Europe whilst waiting in a reception area, she looked totally different but I am not sure what it is. It is the first time I have watched the news in what feels like months, but that did not last too long thankfully!

#AnorakFact: when McLaren last won the #F1 constructors’ world championship (at Suzuka in ’98; pic), no fewer than 9 drivers who’ve raced in this year’s F1 world championship hadn’t yet been born. So it’s been a very, very long wait. Congrats to all my old mates at Woking. 👏

"County lines" is a form of trafficking. It is amazing how different the reporting on the need to support and protect victims is though compared to the reporting on those trafficked from outside UK. There is no difference in practice, yet the comparisons never seem to cross people's minds. #r4today

Today's fruity grump of the day from me! So when did all small round citrus fruits just become "easy peelers"? I reckon, madarinins, satsumas, tangerines, and clementines should all be given their identity back. I loved getting my tangerine in the stocking as my festive gift 😁

Guys, if you are new here, watch out for Chat/DM approaches which simply say "Hello" and come from an account with attractive female profile pics but very few posts. Check who they are following and if the accounts are 90% men, then you probably don't want to engage.

You can rightly deplore the venal charlatans who sold us this economic suicide, but I also now blame everyone in our political class, including those in government, who continue to bury their heads in the sand and insist we cannot reverse this most catastrophically stupid error. Shame on them all.

I've noticed an increase in twattery traffic on here this week - I suppose it's like flies getting bored of buzzing round the same dung heap (X) and migrating to something fresher. Using the block button as liberally as a 1970s TV chef used lard.

I received my Pensioners Christmas bonus today from DWP a whole £10, it has been that amount for the past 52 years, which is coincidentally the same time that I started earning. I am surprised that this is still a thing.
