Slip Slidin' Away ...



Paul Simon’s song seems quite appropriate for the latter part of 2015 – our trips in Theodora have sort of fizzled out.

Ruth has already mentioned her knee problem, which was a major factor in aborting our week in Pembrokeshire (see last post). We had also planned a trip away in late October, taking in our annual trip to the big NEC motorhome show, and one in late November. Neither of these materialised, largely due to impending major upheavals chez Roach.

I will be retiring in 2016 and we plan to move to Stratford upon Avon.  So the whole house sale/purchase process is underway, and has somewhat eaten into available time. When a house viewing involves a round trip of 200 + miles, it does tend to wipe out a whole day.
We did manage to get to the NEC show just for a day, and came away with some treats for Theodora, (tyre covers to protect the wheels while in storage) and for me (a small CADAC gas barbeque to take away with us).

Hopefully 2016 will bring more trips in the van than previous years – otherwise what was the point of retiring?
