After all, in the Motorhome it\u2019s just us.  We don\u2019t have all those house chores to do,  and if we want peace and quiet or  a moment to reflect,  then we just turn on the engine and move.   It\u2019s made us enjoy the things we love even more, for instance take food.  I love to shop for it, cook and we both love to eat it.   Now we find that at each new place we are seeking  out a new deli with local produce, inspiring me to cook a new dish, or taste a new cheese, or in Mr S\u2019s  case, try a local beer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We have stumbled upon lovely little restaurants tucked away in courtyards or side streets,  that had we would not have, had we not taken the MH for a weekend away, to do nothing by potter and discover. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Serendipity.     \u201c The pleasure of finding things by chance \u201c<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So take a moment in your Motorhome,  smell the fresh sea air, walk along a path you\u2019re not been before, eat some food you\u2019ve not tasted and travel in anticipation of the simple things that you are about to discover and enjoy.   Good luck ! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>  #talesfromthisgirl @talesfromthisgirl<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1440\" height=\"1800\" src=\"https:\/\/www.talesfromthisgirl.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/232f8b38-baec-4069-aa9b-91b856c9853f.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-40\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.talesfromthisgirl.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/232f8b38-baec-4069-aa9b-91b856c9853f.jpg 1440w, https:\/\/www.talesfromthisgirl.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/232f8b38-baec-4069-aa9b-91b856c9853f-240x300.jpg 240w, https:\/\/www.talesfromthisgirl.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/232f8b38-baec-4069-aa9b-91b856c9853f-819x1024.jpg 819w, https:\/\/www.talesfromthisgirl.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/232f8b38-baec-4069-aa9b-91b856c9853f-768x960.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.talesfromthisgirl.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/232f8b38-baec-4069-aa9b-91b856c9853f-1229x1536.jpg 1229w, https:\/\/www.talesfromthisgirl.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/232f8b38-baec-4069-aa9b-91b856c9853f-48x60.jpg 48w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1440px) 100vw, 1440px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Most people have busy lives, filled with work, family, home or hobbies.
