17th January 2013 4th Anniversary.

No not a wedding anniversary as that is going to be 16 years for us this year and never a cross word

This was the day 4 years ago that we became ‘fulltimers’ and (nervously) drove off in our new shiny motorhome (HMS Robyn).

We sold up in October 2008 and stepped off not only the property ladder but off of the Rat Race. I had a year off work (unpaid) and Angela had given in her notice.

We were going to give it a year and then see what happened after that!

For those that have followed our website will know that in that time we have had many adventures, seen some lovely places not only here in the UK but also in Europe.

We have also seen many types of weather which some of you may think is a strange thing to say but it is a completely different experience in a motorhome than it is in bricks and mortar.

We have had two winters with temperatures of minus 18 degrees C Germany and the UK.

Cannot find German picture but this is Oxford in December 2010.

On the bright side we have also wintered in Spain (2011)

A lot of things have happened between then and now and I won’t bore you with the details. You can look back through our website if you have the urge to read more!

We now only work six months of the year for the Camping and Caravanning Club which allows us to have the other six months off to either travel or just hole up somewhere.

We now even have the option of seeing the winter out in our yurt, speaking of which we are coming up to the first anniversary of living in that also. We are now owners of two properties!

I think I speak for both of us when I say that we have had a fantastic time and cannot see us living in a house again for a while.

As long as we are healthy and fit I can see us doing this for a few more years.

Cheers
