Open invite to join in a trip to Europe including our place – 4th to 18th August 2012 Adrian & Sandra,  who have stayed with us twice now (and helped us out at the recent NEC bike show)  are planning another visit this coming August.  They would like to invite others to join them, particularly [...]

Well here we are in 2012 and already looking forward to the next summer season! Bookings are coming in thick and fast and as the BBC keeps reminding us that there are now less than 200 days to go until the Olympics start in London, just think how soon those high roads will be open! [...]
