Not too long ago offspring #2 and I were at Costco. Our list included the big old bucket of M&M peanuts as there really is no better van life snack. Except for the part that it is amazingly easy to eat through 1.3 kg of M&Ms quickly whilst only grabbing 3 at a time. I…
Howdy good people. So far we are 2/2 in free parking lot camping. Last night was lovely and quiet despite there being about 20 camping units parked with us. We were fairly well spread out so that probably helped. The wind died down eventually. The furnace kept us at a solid 14C (our set point)…
We had a lovely night sleep in our semi secret little parking lot in Levi. Turns out those other RVs were uninhabited so we decided some local people just park them there. I had a lovely walk along the Chemin De Fleuve up to a beautiful park called Parc de la Pointe Benson (and now…
I told a friend the other day that it has been a year since we went of a van trip. I was mistaken. The accurate statement is that it has been a year since we went on a van trip in our van. You may remember our epic van trip in Scotland in April 2026….
And now for something completely different. The Mission: The goal of our trip was to do some sea kayaking in Newfoundland. Have an adventure. The secondary goal, which was highly desired, was to see some whales while we paddled. Did we achieve our goals? Read on. I was invited to join this trip as the…
Well, hello there! It’s been some time since we last spoke. Way back in England/Scotland, if I remember correctly. What’s new, you ask. Well, stuff. Recently Mrs Milddogs and I sold our cottage. For real! Yes, we loved the cottage. It’s not a money thing and no I have not needed to start my OnlyFans…

Location: Home Alas, after an acceptable night sleep it was time for final packing, an errand or two and then off to Heathrow via the underground. The errand was a quick trip to Royal Mail to convert our remaining Scottish Pounds Stirling to English Pounds Stirling. Fun fact, the internet says this is a thing…
Location: London Lovely long sleep in our hotel bed last night. We enjoyed the complimentary croissant and coffee for breakfast and then hit the road walking. Our goal today was a self guided walking tour of things in the area. Mission one was to go see the new Globe Theatre and the site of the…
Location: London Pretty good sleep last night. We got some rain but nothing major. There are nights where I am quite content to lay awake and just listen to the rain. I am not convinced last night was one of those. We overachieved on wake-up time which was a tad unfortunate as it gave us…
