We were pretty diligent bloggers during our trip and did hundreds of blogs. Some were informative (I thought) and some were entertaining (I hoped) but this is the one we got the most feedback about, by a long way. So here it is again by reasonably popular demand.
It’s Not all Beer and Skittles (posted June 2014) It has occurred to me as I review this blog that we are focusing on the good bits and not telling you about all the really tough times we are also experiencing. So to balance things out I have been thinking about some of the darker times we have been through so far. The Walk One day we went for a walk and there was a light shower of rain and we got a little bit wet. To be honest it was quite nice as it was a hot day and it cooled things down a bit, but still it rained. The Jam One day we opened our jar of very nice fig jam to spread on our fresh baguette and the jam had gone a wee bit mouldy. We had to go get a tea spoon and scoop the furry bit off. The rest of the jam was delicious. The Flies One day while we were sailing along a whole load of flies came and settled on the boat. They stayed around for an hour or so and then went away. Some of them got splattered by us with an old tea towel and they stayed a bit longer. The Chocolate One day some of the chocolate in the chocolate cupboard (yes we have a chocolate cupboard. This is necessary for the happiness of the crew and for the safety of the captain) started to melt and we had to eat a lot and put the rest into the fridge. So you see it can be pretty tough at times out here battling the elements, and you thought we were having fun!!

If you are a nostalgia buff and want to revisit our blogs from last year then click here. These were posted on Tumblr before we created this snazzy new website. They were quite popular in their day though of course people led simple lives back in those days and their entertainment needs were few.
