👍 Back to our happy place. It's been 4 days now and we’ve spent most of our time catching up with friends for Three Kings and just enjoying being back in our happy place. The weather hasn’t been kind, lots of rain. The three kings had to come by coach to Es Migjorn . Despite the rain, the company more than made up for it.

🚛We’re missing Florry so much, but the paperwork to make her officially Spanish is still ongoing and really not that straight forward and seems to be dragging on.

🤷‍♀️Meanwhile, it’s been wonderful to be back with our best friend Rolo, we missed him so much over Christmas. First stop was a visit to our friends who lost Bentley… it was hard seeing Rolo looking for him, but we know Bentley is watching over him from across the rainbow. 🐾🌈

🐾Rolo has loved being at our friends’ house, it’s like a second home for him, but we think he’s missing the lorry too.

👍Yesterday we managed a little walk on the beach, but today was quieter as Rolo was in pain again. A bit of doggy paracetamol has helped his back, and we took it easy at home.

🌞In the afternoon, the sun decided to make an appearance for a bit, so we went for a drive to a local beach we haven’t visited in a while. Es Canutells reminded us why we love it so much, it's peaceful, beautiful, with crystal-clear water. It was windy and cold though, so no swimming this time! 🌊 (Swipe to see the beautiful beach and clear blue waters).

❓Has everyone had a lovely festive break ? What has everyone else been up to ?

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

😯 Wow! First day of 2026 and we sorted through paper work for Florry to take back to Spain. We found all our old Florry sketches hidden in my dad’s house with paper work we left here 7 years ago. She’s nothing like we imagined, even before the rebuild! (Scroll to see)

,🚛Over 7 years, she’s grown, changed, and evolved… and now with the new rebuild, she’s a van community-built lorry. A living reminder of the amazing, creative, supportive people we’re lucky to call our community.

Here’s to the past, the present, and all the adventures still to come again soon.

Our first day of 2026 has been the best day we could have asked for. Our granddaughter with us for the night and a beautful sunset pink sky....what more could we ask for 👍🙏🐾😘🚛

🎊As 2025 draws to a close and we step towards 2026, it feels like a good moment to pause and reflect. More than anything, this past year has been a reminder of how precious our health and our relationships truly are.
Live gently, love deeply, and put people before things. Time with family, friends, and shared experiences matters far more than money, gifts, or anything material.

🙏Chris and I are spending quiet time with my dad by the fire in Suffolk. No big adventures, just being together and some down time. I’ve been unwell again, which has slowed me down and reminded me how important it is to listen to our bodies and take care of ourselves. I’m slowly finding my energy again. Too much eating out and rich food, time for a healthy diet and less eating out.

🐾We both miss Rolo terribly and can’t wait to be reunited soon.
We’re incredibly grateful for the love, care, and support we’ve felt throughout the year, from family, friends, and all of you. Wishing everyone a healthy, connected, and meaningful 2026.

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

🎄I’ve been a bit quiet on here lately apart from a few stories, mainly because we’ve been too busy making some amazing memories.

❤️The last week has been something really special, four generations together, making the kind of memories that quietly lodge themselves in your heart forever.

🎿We spent four beautiful nights in Morzine, a stunning ski resort on the French side of the Alps, just near the Swiss border. While my girls were off skiing, we had the absolute joy of precious one-to-one time with our little munchkin, Ava. We decided as a family, no presents and instead we would treat ourselves to 4 days in the mountains ....adventures and making beauiful memories are worth far more.

⛄Little munchkin was SO good. Loved the snow, took everything in her stride, endlessly entertaining, full of character and clearly already a fan of adventure and travel. Watching the world through her eyes was pure magic.

👍My mum was there too and she's 82 years young, which made it also special. These moments in the snow and all of us together, (mum, the girls and little pickle & us)are ones I’ll treasure forever. We feel incredibly lucky.

❄️We have to say, four nights in a lovely B&B was such a treat. No cooking, no cleaning, just rest, chats, laughter and space to relax. We love travelling in Florry because we love having our home, my bed, our familiar little world with us, but this really did feel like a proper holiday, and exactly what we needed after a pretty relentless few months of things going wrong. Right now, w are just feeling deeply grateful and are hearts are full🙏

🐾Next up: a bit of time in Suffolk with Dad, before we fly back home to Menorca… and back to Florry & Rolo who we miss lots. He's having a great time with Natalia and all his doggy friends. Life feels very full in the best possible way right now🙏

❣️ What have you all been up to ? Love & Peace, Cat, Chris & Rolo 🚛🐾🙏❤️😘🎄⛄🎿

🌍A few days ago we visited The Peña de s'Indio a very special place we love, tucked away in the centre of the island. One of those spots that feels quietly powerful the moment you arrive, weathered rock, endless texture, and a sense of time doing its own thing.

❣️I went with two very special friends. Juan Carlos Sanchis Moysi , who I used to jump off the rocks with when we were kids at Binibèca, those carefree, salty-haired days that somehow still feel close and Trish, who we’ve known for years and who shares our deep love for Labradors, dogs, and the joy they bring. Thank you both for such a special time. You always make me smile when times are not so good and even when they're good 😘❣️

🙏Whenever we’re together, it’s always laughter, stories, and that easy feeling of being exactly where you’re meant to be. Friendships mean the world to us. This place is simply gorgeous too and a place to just relax and be with nature.

👍Now time to say goodbye Menorca for a bit and time to pack up. Tonight we set off on the next bit of our travels for a few weeks. Our first stop being the UK to pick up the family, because this time, we’re all heading off together.

🎄We didn’t buy each other presents this year. Instead, we decided to do something special and spend that money on a little holiday, making memories rather than unwrapping things. It is nicer to be making memories for us all.

🎄🥰We can’t wait to see everyone again especially my little munchkin who is going to love Christmas this year. Wishing every single one of you a very Merry Christmas. Our next posts will be at Christmas time in the snow hopefully🙏🎄🐾🚛😘

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

🚛Really enjoyed spending last night in Florry, decorating her and feeling so cozy surrounded by all our stuff again ❣️

👍The villa is lovely, but Florry is home. Easier to heat, easier to live in, and we really miss being able to move about. Summer in the villa is dreamy, but in winter, the lorry wins every time.

🙏 Next year at some point, we’ll be back on the road, here or in the UK… time will tell 🤷‍♀️.

🎄 Meanwhile, we are enjoying our time here with friends and getting really excited about seeing our little munchkin. We are looking forward to our upcoming adventure and special Christmas family holiday away. We are always on the move somewhere, be it in our home or by boat by plane or by train 🙏❣️ Keep our eyes peeled for hopefully some great photos over Christmas 🙏

16/12/2025

🚛Finally home to Florry, even if it’s only for one night 🎄

🎄Six years of decorating her and there was no way we were breaking the tradition this year. A short stop, but just enough time to make her feel festive. Not to early is it?

🔥Fire roaring, lights twinkling, wrapped up and cosy… movie night in Florry just hits differently. Home really is wherever she’s parked.

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

🚛Not another sad post, we’ve officially had enough but life still deciding to keep us on our toes! First pic is AI and just to make us smile and look forward to Florry back on the road.

🐾Yesterday, a beautiful visit to Sa Mesquida, today a wander around a talayot, but followed by an emergency vet visit thrown in for good measure.

👍We’re back home now and Rolo is ok. When moving Rolo to get him in the car, he yelped out loud a squeal so loud. I only touched his lower back. We got him home but he was shaking whenever we tried to go near him. A few hours later and a call to the vet, off we went to see her. He’s jolted his back and pinched a nerve. He’s had a hydrocortisone injection, follow up tomorrow to see how he is doing. Only small gentle walks for a few days. No more jumping in and out of cars for Rolo for sure.

🙏We were braced for a massive bill because it was an emergency call-out on Sunday, but it was only 95€ for it all. Honestly, they’ve been so good here with Rolo. In the UK that would’ve been hundreds. Feeling very grateful. We've been using Clínica Veterinaria Cardona & von Hofe, S.C.P in Mahon for years and they're absolutely amazing, highly recommend them! (Link in the comments )Thank you Ursula 👍

🐾Rolo’s resting now (and clearly enjoying being waited on), though he’s not keen on too much fuss just yet. We’ll decorate the lorry later in the week, the stairs aren’t his friend right now and actually, it feels like there’s a reason for everything. Florry not moving and us being at the villa? Turns out Rolo needs proper rest too.

🤷‍♀️Oh boy, it’s definitely been all three of us lately, but we’re thankful we've got the villa and we’re together, and things are looking up. Here's to a week of nothing else ....please cross fingers 🤞🤞🤞

❓How's everyone else's week going ? Love & Peace, Cat, Chris & Rolo ❣️🐾🙏🚛😘

😢🐾 Today my heart is so heavy. I Rolo, lost my dear friend Bentley. 🐾💔

❤️We loved each other very much, and I don’t quite understand why he isn’t here anymore. He was my father figure who I looked up to.

🐾Bentley was the kindest, softest soul. Being with him always made me feel calm and happy. I loved going to his house on the beautiful island of Menorca, it was my favourite place, because it was his home and he made me at home each and everytime. I was always so happy there, just being by his side. I loved my holiday with him when I got to stay with him for 10 days, we had such an amazing time.

🐾Bentley had the very best life. He was loved beyond measure by his family, who gave him everything and more than a dog could ever dream of. I know how lucky he was, and how lucky I was to call him my friend.

❣️I will miss him more than words can say. My humans’ hearts are heavy too, because they loved him dearly. Today, tomorrow, and all the days to come, we are thinking of Gary and Sue. Losing your best friend is so very hard.

🐾😢Sleep gently, my beautiful friend. I will carry you in my heart forever. I will take you with me on my walks & adventures and always remember our time together especially our licky lickys (yoghurt treats after our walks)..

🐾Big tail-wagging hugs to Gary and Sue from all of us.
RIP 1.2.12 - 12-12-25💔🐾

Rolo😢💔 🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾💔

🚛 Lorrylife still isn’t happening and is on pause, but we’re embracing where life has placed us, back in the villa for a little while longer. Chris is back on his feet and I’ve had my own little setback, now Florry is off the road while we tackle the adventure that is possibly turning her into a Spanish Autocaravana.

🤷‍♀️It’s definitely a challenge but hey, life loves to keep things interesting and we can take on a challenge 😅

🏠So for now, we’re leaning into villa life while we sort out Florrys paperwork. Now a little bit of some sunshine hopefully, breathing space, and a chance to reset. 

🌲We've got something lovely on the horizon: a Christmas trip by air ✈️ which will be a fun curveball for us!⛄

🙏The past 6 months have thrown a lot our way, health hiccups, trips back to the UK, lorry logistics — but we’re learning (again!) that life doesn’t need to go to plan to still be good.

❣️We’re staying open, staying grateful, and trusting the journey. What will be, will be. Love Cat, Chris & Rolo 🚛🙏👍🐾😘🤞

🇪🇸 Today’s a national holiday here in Spain, so Chris had the day off, such a treat! We headed out this morning to the Rubí Rafel Navetta and Rolo was in heaven. So much green, so many new smells… his tail didn’t stop wagging.

🚛This afternoon Chris sorted out all his tools in Florry, so we now have a toolbox for the villa, a toolbox for the lorry… and a big bag of rubbish to prove progress was made. 😂

🌲Today's holiday is not only religious but also the unofficial start of the Christmas season here, decorations, nativity scenes, lights and that gentle festive spirit beginning to show. Perfect excuse for a wander around the Mahón Christmas market.

👍I love how Christmas here isn’t rushed or overly commercialised. It starts slowly, beautifully. And now I’m finally getting into the idea that Christmas is coming… and getting excited for our special time and the trip we have with family coming up soon. 🎄

❣️ Are you getting in the mood for the festive period? Love & Peace, Cat, Chris & Rolo 🙏🚛👍❣️🐾🌲
