H<\/strong>ow quickly has 2023 passed us by, and how much has happened this year? While we have both been working we have moved house, we’re still on the Isle of Wight but in a smaller, more manageable place with a home that we can just ‘lock up and leave<\/em>‘.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are going to try just that with our next trip, a long one…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are planning to leave in mid-December, going through Belgium, a bit of France, and down through Germany, taking in the Black Forest, on to Switzerland then back west through the south of France and into Spain for some warmth, eventually heading back home sometime in February 2024. So it will be a winter tour in the snow and the cold ending with, hopefully, our shorts on with some winter sun somewhere in the south of Spain. We shall see.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jess has been fitted with some brand-new tyres. We promised her new tyres after the last trip so considering where we intend to go we thought it wise to fit her with some Continental VanContact<\/a> all-season tyres. There you go. Have a look at them they are the best! Hayley did days and days of research to find these, comparing them to others with these coming out on top. A good all-round tyre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Enough of tyres…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is our personal travel blog for our family and friends, we are not selling or endorsing anything, it’s just our way of saying “hello<\/em>” from where we are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our first post will be next Saturday when we will be out on the roads somewhere in Europe……<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lots of love, <\/p>\n\n\n\n
