Other than that we are all doing well. We have all the gear with us so the snow isn't too much of a bother. Good to be at camp and have access to electricity, otherwise we would be using loads of gas on the heating. We struggled to find gas stations supplying LPG (GPL) in spain, but there are plenty in France and Germany. We have fitted gas tanks, rather than loose bottles, cheaper to refill, but not as convenient if you can't find gas stations.
Cooking advice for other campers. Take a pressure cooker! Things cook in a fraction of the time, use less gas and are better for you (more vitamins). Thanks for the pressure cooker mum! We are having roast chicken today, initially pressure cooked, then finished off in the oven...yum.
We will be moving on again soon. This time to Stuttgart. Not sure how long we will be in Germany for, then heading back towards blighty via Paris. I am hoping to buy some things for re-upholstering at the famous fleamarkets! I have been avoiding all large purchases as we keep the bikes in the garage, despite having the cycle rack on the back. Might have to sneak some lovely upholstery projects in the back when a certain someone isn't looking!
The jug is in the 'oven' for firing today. There were no big bangs or popping noises when I put it in, so I may have some pics of my craft day for you...don't hold your breath!
Our latest adddition to the family...at least this one doesn't eat much!
A blanket of snow over everything...
Loved seeing the home in the snow, my idea of heaven, everything self contained and cosy... I must gow up sometime... or mabye not. Euan looks very happy in the pic and why wouldn'nt he, something new every day, sunshine then snow. How marvellous to have seen all of this and your not even at school yet. As for Joshua, I'm sure he will always be a traveller. Well anyway, time to get to bed, hope all is well with you and the boys... Luv u all lots, Just love your blog esp. the pics. Mum xxxxx
ReplyDeleteAs for pressure cookers, an absolute must for travelling, very quick and reduces cooking time to a minimum, also ensures tender results, glad you are getting the benifit of Prestige.
