Florry The Lorry, Menorca (2026)

19/06/2026

🤷‍♀️From turquoise waters and freedom... to becoming full-time carers. 🤔That wasn't on our 2026 bingo card. Some photos to remind us of our happy place.

Three months ago now since we left Menorca and returned to the UK. Since then, life has been filled with doctors appointments, sorting out medicines, eye clinic appointments and hearing tests and a few sleepless nights, tears, exhaustion and trying to navigate a chapter we never really saw coming. However, we've also been lucky to be able to find restbite care so we could take Florry The Lorry to be displayed at the van festivals. We have more breaks coming up and its thanks to some good full time live in carers, couldn't have done it without them.

😮Some days have felt impossibly hard. But amongst it all, we've discovered a strength we didn't know we had and learned to celebrate the smallest victories.

🌍We miss Menorca terribly and back soon for a break. The freedom, the sea and our friends, we miss so much. The slower pace of life. That little island has always been our place to reset, heal and breathe. I'm grateful we have it and grateful it's our home.

🙏Right now we're exactly where we need to be, but we'd be lying if we said we weren't counting down the days until we're back. If you've cared for a parent, you'll know it's one of the hardest and most rewarding things you'll ever do.

❤️ Tell us... what's one thing you're grateful for today? Love & Peace, Cat, Chris & Rolo 🚛👍❣️🐾🙏🤗

Well... what can we say? ❤️ What an AMAZING weekend at the Adventure & Overlander Show! 🚐

🙏We've spent the last few days surrounded by incredible people, inspiring stories, and some seriously impressive homes on wheels. From world travellers with epic adventures to ingenious self-builds, we've loved every minute of it.

🐾 Rolo was a little devil this weekend. He ate two of my breakfasts and he refused to leave a night by a fire pit to go home to bed. Think he's just loved having attention from everyone as he lay on our bed looking out at others and getting lots of attention!

🥰It was so lovely catching up with old friends and making lots of wonderful new ones too. And wow... thank you to everyone who came to see Florry! 🥰 We were blown away by all your kind words and loved hearing about your own travel dreams and adventures.

👍A huge thank you to Tom and the crew for organising such a fantastic event. The whole weekend felt relaxed, friendly, authentic and full of people who simply love travel, adventure and life on the road.

🚛 Back to Suffolk tomorrow for caring for my dad but it's been an lovely bit of restbite and more to come.

🌍 What's your dream destination to travel to? if you came to see Florry, let us know in the comments!
We'd love to hear from you.

❣️Love & Peace, Cat, Chris & Rolo 🚛🐾🙏❣️👍

🤷‍♀️Well, yesterday didn't quite go to plan! 😆 After a 2½-hour wait for roadside assistance, we eventually gave up on waiting for the RAC and took matters into our own hands. Using our power bank, we managed to put enough charge into the batteries to get ourselves safely to a park-up.

🐾Meanwhile, Rolo was completely unaware of the drama! 🐾 He was all prepped for the show thanks to a special pamper session from Sarah Dapper Dogs Mobile Dog Grooming Wow... he smells amazing and looks incredibly handsome!

🚛Life on the road isn't always smooth sailing, but we've learned to keep smiling and find the funny side of things. Sometimes adversity brings unexpected moments of fun and kindness.

🤞As luck would have it, our friends Oliver and Chloe live just down the road from the car park where we stayed last night. They came to the rescue with a much bigger charger and helped get our batteries fully charged again. Rolo was absolutely delighted to have some friends come round to play! ❤️

👍Now the next challenge is figuring out what the actual battery problem is... but for now we're back on the road making our way to

🙏If you're visiting the show, come and say hello! We're on the display field and would love to catch up with old friends and meet some new ones too.

🎂One of the absolute highs of our life is seeing our little munchkin, and on Saturday we celebrated her 2nd birthday 🎉

🐾 Rolo too absolutely adores her to bits and loves each and every time he gets to see her.

❣️Two years have passed already! It only feels like yesterday that we were at a Vanlife Festival, waiting in anticipation for the news of her arrival, with a car on standby ready to rush back home if she decided to make an early appearance.The joys of being a Nana and Grandad are beyond measurable. ❤️

💯❓Is being grandparents while living in a lorry and spending a lot of time away hard? I won't lie, sometimes it's really hard. There are moments when we wish we could pop round whenever we wanted. Technology has been an absolute gift for us🤞. We speak to her regularly and get to see her growing up through video calls. I've shared breakfast times, tea times, story times, and countless little chats with her from wherever we happen to be.

📲Of course, technology is only part of it. Over the last two years, I've also flown back every month to see her, no matter where we've been. 🛩️Those visits have been so important and have helped create the beautiful bond we have today. Nothing quite replaces cuddles, story time, and making memories together in person.

👍It's not just us travelling to her. She's come to visit us many times too and is already becoming quite the little jet-setter! ✈️ At just two years old, she's already travelled to more places than many people do in a lifetime. She's been all over the world already, collecting adventures and making memories.

🚛Being a Nana in a van isn't really that different from being a Nana in a house, I don't imagine. The love is exactly the same. The only difference is that she gets to see a different way of living and learn that there are many ways to enjoy life. She sees that adventure is possible and that home can be wherever the people you love are.

🙏I'd love to know your thoughts on grandparenting. Do you see your grandchildren every day, weekly, or just once in a while? How does it work for you?

❣️Love & Peace, Cat, Chris & Rolo 🙏👍🚛🐾😘❣️

😥A few days ago marked 3 years since Chris's dad, passed away. Many of you may not know that it was a tragic accident. His dad & mum were about to go away in their motorhome, to enjoy a weekend away. Very sadly and shockingly, he fell from a ladder while cleaning the roof of the motorhome. In an instant, everything changed 🥺

👩‍⚕️The nurses in Bristol who cared for him while he was on life support told us that they see more and more life-changing and life-ending accidents caused by falls from ladders while people are cleaning motorhomes, caravans and solar panels. It really stayed with us.

🙏We all want to make the most of life, travel, explore and enjoy our adventures, but if you're climbing a ladder to clean your roof or solar panels, please take extra care. No job is worth risking your life for.

😉We took some time the other day to think about Chris's dad and remember the wonderful memories we made together. 🎊At the same time, we were celebrating Munchkin's 2nd birthday. Where has that time gone? 🤷‍♀️It has made us think about the circle of life.

🤔We remember Chris's dad, we care for my dad, and we watch with joy as the next generation grows before our eyes. The endings, and the beautiful beginnings all happening at once.

❣️Life is precious. Hold your loved ones close, make the memories, take the photos, enjoy the adventures... but please stay safe too.

📸Today we're sharing a few photos and memories of Dennis — a husband dad, grandad and friend who is missed every day but remembered with love. ❣️

❣️ Love, hugs and peace, Cat, Chris & Rolo 🐾🙏❣️🚛😘

🚛Wow 😮 what a fab time we've had at this year! I've truly had a great restbite and filled the cup with love and energy ready to go again ❤️

🏕️The Field of Dreams was hands down the best we've ever been on and we've been coming year after year. A huge thank you to & for making it so special. This year's festival felt so much more chilled, relaxed, and it all seemed to work so well.

🙏It was lovely catching up with old friends, making new ones, and spending a week doing what Vanlife does best – relaxing, laughing, and having fun and chatting round a fire on a field. A must go to next year if you've not been.

🚛Now it's time to head back to Dad's for a while and finally finish off those last few finishing touches on Florry... although, let's be honest, a self-build is never really finished! 😂

👍 A night tonight in the woods alone, just us in the peace 🙏

❓ What's everyone been up to?

❣️ Love & hugs, Cat, Chris & Rolo 🚛🙏🐾❣️😘

VanLife Festival

21/05/2026

🥲Being depressed is not a sign of weakness; it’s a sign that you’ve been trying to be strong for too long. 🙏Mental Health week in the UK took place from 11–17 May 2026, so it finished a few days ago. This year’s theme was “Take Action.” I did this and went to the doctors for support. NOTE: doctors can refer to talking therapies and it's not always about medicines. I have gone down the route of a little help talking to someone to ease the grief and help with understanding what is happening to my dad.

😲1 in 3 of us will struggle at some point in our lives with mental health issues or simply feeling low and needing someone to talk to. There is absolutely nothing wrong with admitting you need help, and I truly believe it’s important we speak out and openly about mental health.

👫Both Chris and I have had counselling in the past to help us navigate some very difficult times in our lives. Once again, I’ve reached out for help because, honestly, I haven’t been coping too well lately. I’ve been crying most days, feeling mentally exhausted, overwhelmed and struggling more than I’ve wanted to admit. Reaching out to someone to talk to is OK.

👍Not feeling positive all the time is OK. Whether it’s lorry life, vanlife, home life or any kind of life… sometimes we all need support, and there should never be shame in asking for it. You are not alone.

🥰I’m incredibly grateful to have Chris, my family and friends but sometimes it's good to reach out for more. This is what I've done to help myself through this particular phase of my life, and if anyone reading this is feeling low or struggling to cope, please don’t suffer in silence. Speak out, reach out and get the help and support you deserve.

🌿 One thing I try to do when things aren't going great is to get myself out in nature. Yesterday I did this and took Dad to Thornham Walks...it's beautiful and the lush green and did me and dad the world of good 👍

❣️Sending much love, Cat, Chris & Rolo 🙏❣️👍🚛🐾😘

🚛 😔 For a while, we really didn’t think we’d make it this year to the vanlife festival and we've never missed one. Caring for Dad has been our world, and it’s taken a lot of juggling (and some amazing carers) to enable us to be able to go, and hopefully all will go smoothly 🤞

👉 We were going to be displaying Florry 2 but in true Florry fashion, plans have changed again 😅We will be displaying Florry the Lorry Version 2.5 & 🚛🔧(…and yes, we’re really hoping it’s ready in time🙏🤞)

🥰 This will be our first longer trip out since caring for dad and honestly… we’re over the moon. We’ve never missed a vanlife festival, and we didn’t want this to be the first.

🚛 Vanlife isn’t just about the vehicles, It’s about the people. The friendships. The family you find along the way. We’ll also be doing a talk, and I’ll be on a panel (wish me luck 😅) – so please come and say hi, ask questions, or just have a chat!

👉 Are you coming this year? Let us know below, if not, why not ?

👉 And if you’ve ever changed your home layout… was it worth it...we seem to be doing it a lot lately 🤷‍♀️

🙏We definitely need this longer break and counting down the days to see so many familiar faces… and meet some new ones too

❣️ Love & Peace, Cat, Chris & Rolo 🐾🚛🙏😘❣️ (for info about the table , see an old post 👎

😢Felt really sad leaving our little slice of paradise in Menorca today But it’s been such a productive week in so many ways… lots sorted, lots of precious memories made with friends and my daughter and munchkin too 🥰

😳Back in the UK after a busy week in Menorca getting ready for summer season. It was a stressful flight sitting next to two very drunk loud Russians, but home now and reunited with Florry, Chris, Rolo & Dad ❤️

🚛The lorry is still a bit of a tip while we finish the bedroom area 😂 but we’re slowly getting there! Check out our new big bedroom window 👍

🎪Now it’s time to focus on summer plans, festival prep and getting Florry ready to be displayed again 🚛✨

🙏Here’s hoping for a lovely English summer filled with family, friends and making memories ☀️🙏

❣️ Love & Peace, Cat, Chris & Rolo 🚛🐾🙏😘❣️

🙏 A beautiful, full-on day yesterday visiting friends here in Menorca.

🌍First stop was Santo Tomas for a lovely walk through to Son Bou, followed by meeting a friend for a drink at Johnny’s Bar 🍻 and then finishing the day with a delicious Indian meal in Mahon with my Menorcan sister (not by blood, but we call each other sisters. We have so many strange similarities, even our parents and life stories!) and another lovely friend.

😳I was out from 8am until midnight yesterday… and my cup is certainly full of love, laughter, support, and friendship.
It feels so special to be back, even for this short time.

🐾 Meanwhile Chris and Rolo have visitors back in Suffolk. Pippa (munchkins doggy) and Florry the lorry is outnumbered with dogs Vs humans right now 🤣

🙏Very excited for the next few days and more on that tomorrow ❤️ Meanwhile, photos of the beautiful walk ❣️

❣️Love & Peace 🚛😘👍🐾🤗🙏
