Welcome to my world....
Duke’s Bath House Beaulieu
Our 2nd holiday of 2024 and we are off to Hampshire staying in what looks like a beautiful dog friendly historic cottage called the Duke’s Bath House, which sits on the banks of the Beaulieu River. Below is the historic information that is on a notice board on the public path outside the actual cottage so anyone passing can read.
Vospers Fiat Service Failure
I have had Fabio (Fiat All Battery Irresistible One) my Fiat 500e since 2021. My husband has had an electric car for many years and he tried to convert me to going electric. However the only electric car I would consider was a Fiat 500, as I had previously owned 3 petrol Fiat 500’s and loved them, but as the electric version was only manufactured for sale in England in 2021 I had to wait.
So in 2021 Fabio was born to my specifications. A La Prima in Celestial Blue with an added extra of an opening sunroof. We bonded immediately and I love him to bits and he has behaved himself causing me no problems until April 2024. [Read more…] about Vospers Fiat Service Failure
Merlin Farm Cottages Mawgan Porth 2024
It is holiday time again and Archie our Clumberdoodle was getting very excited as he sensed we were going somewhere as I started to lay holiday stuff out in our spare bedroom.
And yes we are going back to Archie’s favourite place – Mawgan Porth in Cornwall. However as you will have seen from my previous blog posts we have been to Mawgan Porth for a number of years and have always stayed at The Park. However this year we are trying somewhere new and have booked a week at Merlin Farm Cottages which are eco friendly powered by solar, under floor heating and where they offer free electric car charging, which is a big plus factor when choosing a holiday as Steve drives an electric car.

Clumberdoodle Archie’s 7th Birthday Born 2nd April 2017 Sleepy Hollow Breeder Devon
I have been a bit lackadaisical (that’s a good word!!) in updating Archie’s blog, so as he celebrated his 7th Birthday on the 2nd April 2024, I thought it was about time I put that right.
Now Archie knows the song “Happy Birthday” and gets very excited as no matter who’s birthday it is, he knows there is going to be cards and presents. So when we woke up on his day and we sang “Happy Birthday” (I know sad!!) to him he started looking for pressies and couldn’t wait to get downstairs.

Isles of Scilly Weekend May 2023
I have lived in Devon all my life and both my husband and myself have always said the Isles of Scilly is somewhere that we wanted to visit. We have been to other parts of the World but have never got around to visiting these wonderful islands, until now. If you are unfamiliar with these islands, they are a small group of islands off the Cornish coast about 2 hour 45 minutes by the Scillonian passenger ferry (no cars), a 20 minute Skybus plane ride from Penzance or by helicopter from Penzance. I don’t like flying so the Scillonian ferry was our choice. The Scillonian is not very big and you do cross the Atlantic so if it is rough you will feel it.
