why would every body be retired .i started as a teenager .(did travel alot as a child. )in between jobs go away for awhile. at 42 kids grown up .travelled alot in africa. came home worked for agencies driving or tempory managing. go away every winter .come back do it again . never found a problem getting work .sometimes arrange to go back to the same company. you only live once life is not a rehearsal. do it now, tomorrow is another adventure waiting to happen.

We are over on the train on the 1st Dec Then down to Portugal. Back in May! like you getting the bacon, sausages and cheese stored :thumb:.Funny when you can`t have a bacon sandwich you get a craving for one.
We had to wait until I retired to go away for the winter i`m afraid the NHS wouldnt give me long enough off at one time .Alan took eary retirement from Scotrail a few yrs before me.
Packing the van ready to go ,wish it was tomorrow :winky:Its freezing here........
Trying to get xmas sorted out for the grandchildren... so much to do (why am I sitting here on the pc lol)

Hey people, look out... Fray Bentos pies with CHIPS and mushy peas... that IS unhealthy!

I have mine with mashed potatoes (with butter and milk) and peas and carrots... and how you can have BROWN sauce on bacon sarnies is beyond me!!! :)

JJ

PS. I hope any Funsters heading through Central Portugal will consider a visit to Quinta Majay especially if they know anything about 1) pruning vines and olive trees or 2) fence building using chopped down pine trees!!!

PPS. Just as happy if you want to sit and do absolutely nothing...

PPPS. Kipor gennies one end... Hondas the other and peace and quiet in the middle...

PPPPS. Man Utd fans stay stum and say nothing...

Had a text from friend who is at Adam & Eve she says Tavira Pingo Doce is finished they are building on the site ...Everyone has gone to Adam & EVe its packed no doubt they will move them all on now... to many there. We liked Pingo it was handy for the shops .there is also a new shopping centre at the roundabout where the garage is ...Where they have the gypsy markets. looks like Villa real or quateria for the shopping ...

funny how different people are ....I read here of someone who is going to stay on the same campsite for the 6th year in a row ...I would pay you NOT to do that ...I don't mind familiar places but after a few days .....off we go

to me motorhoming is all about freedom , exploring the highways and byways

no doubt most most people are between these extremes ...we have dutch friends who used to spend the summer researching what country/site they would spend 3 months at ....but they never went to the same place twice !

what a good thing it is that we all have different ideas :Smile:

if you take it nice n slow day here day there .it takes all winter to get from the border with france to the other border with france ,keeping by the sea. some places you stay longer than others, if you cant park easily move on .never try to get anywhere fast. visit inland aswell but it does get chilly in the seirra navada. hope to meet up with lots of funsters on the way. dont know when or where. hope all have fun. cheers alan.

Heard lots about Bontterra Park, all good. Have a ball


it is all good, well we think so . i know some of you on here like to move around a lot , BUT we like to spend the winter at bontterra , as we tell people we are not on holiday but living there for the winter . when you are on a pension it cost,s to much to keep moving from site to site , and sorry but wont use the aires after being robbed on one , i like to sleep at night and go off for the day knowing that the van is safe . each to their own after all . :Blush::Blush::Blush: god i bet i,ve started some thing now :Eeek:
