This is how we roll.



This is a long overdue post that will just feature life in a camper van.  I’ve tried to include a video but seem to have failed at that so here are some pictures of inside of the van.

 Photos of the inside of the van here.

Dining Room/Study






Food :We've had some wonderful food in restaurants here in France. For example, after tasting "stuffed mussels" Dermot said he'd never make them again.  They were served on an oil and butter herb sauce that was so delicious we used bread to finish it off.
Fillets, steamed potatoes, salad, fresh herbs and wine.




Some campsites have herb gardens and they invite you to snip off what you want.  That little container in the picture contains fresh parsley, chives, rosemary and thyme.

Chef Dermot cooking marinaded lamb skewers.









Seafood smorgasbord that neither of us could finish.
Breakfast is usually in the campervan.  Each campsite in France has offered bread delivered fresh each morning - croissant or pain au chocolat.  Lunch is often eaten in the campervan in a parking lot. Dinner is based on circumstances.  If we’ve had a busy day without time for shopping, we hit a restaurant.  But we bought a Safari Chef and Dermot has cooked alot of our meals on the grill.  We'll scour the store for fresh veggies and often a marinaded meat.  One of my favorite finds was skewers of lamb and peppers - yum!  We've even made fresh white asparagus on the grill. We also have burners inside the van we use to steam potatoes, etc.  

Aldi in France is really special.  We found a set of six terrines for five euros and tried the most exotic - wild boar with chestnuts first. We liked that so the rest must be good too! Today we went to market day in Sarlat en Caneda.  

More pictures of food in France here.


I don't think this video will work but I left it in just in case.

  1. Your video works just fine, and it was fun to have a little tour of the camper van.

Paris Revisited

This leg of the trip is nerve racking. The big picture is that we need to put the campervan in storage in Bristol then fly from London to Sh...
