This was our first venture to the Brazilian Bay Halloween meeting at Anita’s Campsite in Mollington, near Banbury. The forecast was for it to be unseasonably warm on Friday and Saturday and, sure enough, when we got up on Friday…
Having had such a great time last year at the Beer Festival, we booked in again for the 2014 event which featured beers from Yorkshire and Cumbria. We arrived at Masons Campsite around 1pm to find that Tony & Penny…
Some Dover-based Forum friends joined the gang up North for the Eskdale Dubfest in April 2014 and mentioned that there was a very friendly event in the New Forest in September. As they’d driven to Cumbria from Kent it didn’t…
We’d seen photos of another BraziBay Owner’s trip to the Western Isles on the Forum and were determined that we’d go sometime. Geoff and Dave went in springtime just as the Machair was flowering but we could only book for…
Alison had a weekend planned with her girlie friends to our static in Sedbergh, so I was at a loose end. Jodie had mentioned that maybe we could take Aimee away to Bassenthwaite to see the ospreys but unfortunately we…
We collected Absinthe in August 2011, so amazingly, it’s time for her first MOT. We’d booked a service at the same time and had fitted it all in ahead of the Larmer Tree Festival on the Wiltshire/Dorset border. So, it…
This was to be our third visit to Camperjam since we bought Absinthe and, as usual, we set off in rain to travel down the M6. One year we might have sunshine… The M6 was as much fun as it…
We got back from the Brazilian bay Northern Meet on Sunday ready to make a quick turnaround and to head to Wentnor in Shropshire on Monday for a week at The Green Caravan Park. We’d been to Shropshire…
We’d booked the mid-summer weekend for the 2014 Brazilian Bay Northern Chapter Meet, almost 12 months ago, in an attempt to find some sunshine after 2 years of mixed weather in Muker and Appletreewick. It was the first Northern Meet…
How quickly time flies… Unbelievably it’s a year since the 2013 Sleepover and time to party again with our fellow BraziBay owners. The event gets bigger every year and was given the theme of Mardi Gras Kombi Karnival for 2014,…
We were due to meet Alison’s family on 9th May for the weekend to celebrate Richard’s forthcoming 50th Birthday but first we sneaked a week away incorporating the May Day Bank Holiday to a site behind the Three Horseshoes Inn in…
Alison and I went to a Vintage Fair at Victoria Baths in Manchester earlier this month and bought a few things for the house. If you live in the North West, it’s well worth a visit to look at the…
We’d booked this event months in advance – it was the first time the site had held a Dubfest and they were massively oversubscribed, so we were glad we booked early. There were due to be 13 of us from…
Spring 2011: I’m chatting with my friend and business partner whilst out on a cycle ride and he says, “Did you know that you can buy new VW campervans?” “Really?”, says I, “I thought they were all old ones, that…
I was pointed towards this site Papercraft.IT which appears to have a model of Absinthe available. I don’t know if someone has seen her on her travels or has grabbed a photo from this Blog or Flickr but I’ll definitely…
