I can’t really begin to describe the levels of anxiety reached today and it all started off so swimmingly, well that’s if you ignore my waking at 3.30 am needing the loo, fidgeting around until it got light, before trekking across the car park a couple of hours later. The overnight temperature has dropped too,…
It would be fair to say that given Japan’s fabulous win over Scotland, I was probably not the only person in Japan to wake with a crushing headache this morning. There is clearly a reason Tequila is off my drinks list, despite Margaritas being so delicious. I felt it was all a little unjust, as…
The trucks started rolling early on Sunday morning and so we were up, packed and on the road by 9.00am We wandered our way along the coast to a town called Karatsu, which is a pottery town, but in addition it has a lovely castle, which we pottered happily around. Far more entertaining however, was…
The onsen we used yesterday had a set of scales in the changing area, which I dutifully ignored, not wanting to spoil my holiday. While I wasn’t looking Robert hopped on them and gleefully announced that evening that he has lost 4 kilos while we’ve been travelling. I am pretty sure I haven’t lost anywhere…
There is a pattern to living in the camper – up earlyish, breakfast & onsen followed by whatever else we want to do in the day and then, if we are on back to back camper nights, what are we going to have for dinner and where are we going to park for the night.…
Still no sign of Typhoon Hagibis as we woke to bright blue sky and sunshine again. Robert got his wish and had an early morning swim and I got mine, managing to identify a hot can of coffee in the vending machine (third attempt). The timetable for the day is currently shower, breakfast, shrine, lunch…
As the Smallest Boy would say “I can’t tell a lie” we were a bit worried about the possibility of a night in the camper van as Typhoon Hagibis blew through. Although it is not a lightweight vehicle and neither are we, it still seemed a little flimsy in the face of 100mph+ winds and…

I have just realised the difference between pages and posts – doh! So have just posted several days worth of info that I had inadvertently created as new pages, so although you now have all the posts they are in the wrong order. They should be as follows chronologically: I always feel like somebody’s watching…
After my delightful night’s sleep I was up for anything, but particularly for a walk along the the beach to find breakfast – coffee and croissants required, which we found at the local supermarket. We then spent a very peaceable hour watching surfers catching waves. I like to imagine myself as the sort of person…
The voice is no better, but I have a few days without a rugby match, so I am hopeful it will be restored by Wales v Fiji on Wednesday. Robert, unused to a quiet wife, keeps asking me if I’m OK. The basic answer is yes, but for a woman with an opinion on pretty…
