Let’s talk about wind! Gusts to 95kph and steady state in the sixties. The RV never stopped rocking and complaining. We did get some sleep but nature really fought us. The waves breaking on the shore of Stroma Isle, part of the Oarkneys, were incredible to watch in the near distance (but through consistent light…
Pretty lovely sleep, all things considered, at our little lay-by down by the river. We did have some rain which despite waking us up did sound lovely. Post awakening I did a short walk down by the river. Mrs Milddogs met some local people who were out and about. One fellow was headed down to…
We had an acceptable sleep last night until the alarm sounded at 0700. Damn you alarm! We have a schedule to keep. Breakfast at the cafe, clean up us, clean up the room and pack up. Off we march to Leicester Station to catch the Piccadilly Line to Kings Cross. No, it’s not a Harry…
Note: not mentioning my usual morning walks as they get interspersed throughout the day. We managed to sleep for approximately 12 hours. Woke up at 0930 local time (all times local) and grabbed complimentary breakfast at the hotel. Today’s mission was to see the sites. Seeing the sites may not be the same as experiencing…
Good day, I say! Yesterday we left Canada and early this morning we arrived in London. I failed to sleep on the flight. Mrs Milddogs believes she got almost 3 minutes of sleep. Flight was uneventful. I enjoyed two complimentary Coors Light during the flight. Our hotel in the Leicester Square area has an early…
Dearest Aunt, It has been far too long since we last corresponded. Despite retirement, Mrs Milddogs and I have been busy. We have not ventured out on any van excursions since our last post and sadly won’t be going to visit our cousin Buc-ee nor uncle HEB this year. We miss them tremendously and yearn…
Well, the forecast lied a little. The rain did subside with just traces over night. Rather than the soothing sound of raindrops we had the alarming sound of thousands of acorns (not eggcorns) falling from the plentiful oak trees in the park. If you have not been, the park is well situated but perhaps a…
Beautiful, quiet night in Hartland next to the covered bridge. By the time I awoke and looked outside, the third member of our trinity, the Leisure Travel Van, had already departed leaving us and the close parking Hymer from Manitoba. Wasn’t hard to decide where to head on the morning walk. I crossed the bridge…
It was supposed to rain during the night and there may have been a few drops. It was surprisingly warm so we had the windows open most of the night. As morning broke Amy made us aware that she needs love in the form of a morning cuddle. For the morning walk I did pretty…
Morning was overcast but an acceptable 12 degrees (that means T-shirt weather for the morning walk). I got a late start (cause vacation) and headed out along the highway again. I went a bit further this time up past the school. Along the way I met 3 citizens that were cleaning up the garbage along…
