We’re travelling around the UK and rest of Europe in a Compass Elddis motorhome with our dog, Buddy.

🎄As usual we are not sending Christmas cards this year, but instead have sent some Christmas treats to the wonderful Frugaldom using their Amazon wishlist.

🦡If you fancy a trip into Dumfries and Galloway in your van don’t forget to plan in a trip to this wildlife haven and spend an evening watching badgers,pinemartins and loads of birds. Check out their page on how to book.

🫣So here’s a bargain challenge- can you beat mine?

😳Tea for 2 for 30p…with cakes! Asda Express!

😂Only went in for milk…

❤️At last…the first mincepie of the season!

🙊The rest of the pack may not survive the day!

🎉This weekend there seems to be a lot of Xmas parties for those who still work (😂)- if that’s you, hope you have a great time- and if like us, you’ve retired, then hopefully you’re doing something more exciting than coverting mincepies!

🌬️Have a fab weekend- and stay safe in Cumbria as it’s set to be wet and windy one- the MH is rocking already!

🇬🇧Back home in Blighty…with a beautiful day by the shore.

🫣I miss looking for moose in every tree line and gazing at the sky for a sea eagle…even the aurora app is mocking us with false hope.

❤️But ready for a roast dinner, Warby’s toast and lots and lots of hugs.

🎄For our last night of the trip I thought it would be lovely to spend it celebrating Christmas in Veurne’s festive market square- with an ice-rink, winter chalet and over a hundred Christmas trees, it sounded perfect.

🫣Only thing is…it doesn’t start until Friday!

❤️So here’s the very pretty square anyway, albeit not as illuminated or festive!

🚐After a long trip with lots of new places, we always like the familiarity of the camperstop at Veurne for our last few days before heading back to the UK.

🦮It’s close to the vets for Buddy, is a lovely town with shops and cafes and is a super camperpark.

🚐It can be booked online so you know you will have a space, has bins, a great service point, access to toilets and showers, EHU and level hard standing for those winter days. All for €16 (at this time of year).

❤️We are here alone…again!

🥰There’s even a pair of Green woodpeckers knocking about!

⛴️After a quiet 30hr ferry crossing we landed in Travemünde last night at 9pm. Minutes later we were on our way, driving across Germany until around 1.30am to avoid the daytime traffic (which was horrendous on our outward journey).

🛩️We pulled off at Bielefeld and found a small carpark with a view over an airfield- a different one to the one we stopped at on the way out!

🚛Our cunning plan to then continue the journey today, on a Sunday, worked a treat as the trucks over 7.5t are not allowed to drive on any roads from midnight Saturday to 10pm Sunday- that meant a reasonably quick journey to our home for tonight- Eeklo motorhome aire.

🚐We’ve stayed here twice before as it’s really handy, free (no services) and very welcoming. The marina bar, De Jachthaven, at the end of the Aire has always been shut on previous visits, so we were glad to go and have a drink and a pancake after a long day.

🐘Belgian beers are always poured into a branded glass, and this one was one Andrew has always missed on previous visits. Finally…the one with the trunk! Love Belgium and always enjoy being here.

👃…did I mention, it also smells great too, as it’s next to a biscuit factory!

❤️Buddy is very settled here on the ferry. At last, a mode of transport he doesn’t dislike!

🇸🇪We are 22hrs hours in and have just seen land to our right hand side- Sweden! Bang on schedule for 1pm ish.

🫣The snacks are dwindling, we’ve eaten all our cake and we are down to our last few biscuits- the onboard food is a little pricey but we’ve enjoyed a hot focaccia for lunch and Andrew is resting up for the night drive later tonight!

🍫Our final day in Finland and we headed for the iconic Fazer Experience for our last Finnish lunch buffet and shopping for sweet treats!

💝The smell as we got out of the van was heavenly as it’s also the site for the bakery. Fazer was started by Karl Fazer, a Finnish-Swiss chocolatier, who founded the company in 1891 when he opened a French–Russian-style café in Helsinki.

💙Their signature milk chocolate, wrapped in royal blue, is considered THE Finnish chocolate. Many Finns associate it with childhood, celebrations, and national pride and the brand is emotionally tied to Finnish identity.

☕️They do loads of varieties of chocolate now, have dog friendly cafes in many urban areas and do plant-based, lactose and gluten free chocolate options. We went with the full-fat variety and spent a small fortune in the shop for pressies.

⛴️We are now in our cabin waiting for the ferry to set sail. A nice big window to watch the world go by as we cruise out of the archipelago.

😢Our last night in Finland- so sad!

🇫🇮We’ve enjoyed our time at Camp Rastila and would recommend the campsite if you are ever here in Helsinki.

⛴️As you can see from the map we are very close to the ferry port and tomorrow we will close the loop on our fantastic journey as we get back to the place we started from.

🤔However, I have one more touristy thing to do tomorrow before we leave…

🎄Are your Christmas decorations up yet?

🎄In Burnley we use the phrase ‘trimming up’ to describe the process of putting the decorations up- is this a phrase you’ve heard of as we think it’s quite unique to the Burnley area( or just our family!)? Let us know!

🎄We only brought a few bits with us on this trip, so here’s our ‘trimming up’ all done!

🎄Feeling festive in Helsinki!

🚇Metro into the city took 15min- €10 for a day pass which covers all forms of transport- even the ferry to Suomenlinna (UNESCO fort). We bought our tickets using the app -I’d read that no one checks for tickets and they didn’t! Amazing trust.

🌬️The fort was windy and chilly but interesting. We visited here in 2007 with the girls in our gap year- had a caravan then though!

🍰We had an afternoon coffee and cake at the self-declared best cafe in Helsinki- price reflected that accolade too but it was delicious.

🎄The city looked lovely in the evening when the lights came on. The Christmas market was pretty- located at the foot of the stunning white cathedral. It was…OK…not a huge fan of Christmas markets really but glad we went.

Metro back…drink in the restaurant/cafe on site…and then home for tea!
