Life on the road

I didnt say anything about doubting the honesty of the article , what i said was

"Is it all for real or was some of it just a very nice story ???? "

and as alluded to by others, this is not the first time the Beeb has run such stories, and there are quite a few on You Tube, and as i said

"But good luck to them if "this is living the dream"

Maybe it is all true, or was it made to look like "living the dream" by the BBC , maybe they used it as a tool to market the books they obviously produce in great quantities?.

Did you not cast some doubt as to what they were doing was possible

"They must be doing a lot of wild camping, even if allowed most sites will be too expensive for 5"

Not doubt at all. Simply an observation that traveling with 5 dogs would in most places be an expensive proposition, certainly at all the sites I use where dogs charges vary from €3 to €7 and few will accept that number.

agreed, but nice as the story is, it doesnt reflect that this couple are all over the web e.g. amazon, You Tube, Twitter, promoting many books that they have written some about their travels some look to be fictional, so as i said they dont look to be without a bob or two, but if they can do all this and live in a rather small MH, good luck to them, oh! and they do seem to conveniently have friends in France who had a suitable house for them to live in for most of the corvid crises earlier in the year.

Autocruise motor caravans were well made ( good quality great cutomer service worth more than priced at))until Swift bought them out of administration

Lucky people ? Not really.

When I was their age I had children aged 2, 8, 10 and 12 - all at school plus ferrying them to cubs, swimming lessons, football practice, sleepovers, birthday parties, and so on. No regrets at all. Life was good. 

Would I wish I had  lived in a van with a lot of dogs? Not in the least

but they will have a weight restriction, 5 dogs, 2 bikes, 2 people, and judging by the fact that they are an enterprising couple writing many books, no doubt lap tops etc, plus all their wordly posessions ?
