Many thanks to all my friends. As I write this I’m in the Christi hospital hoping to go home in a few days. I was told about a week ago that I had about 3 months to live and should start preparing my affairs. Which Sue and I are trying to do. I have some very dear and close friends that are helping us in this task.
I’m not sure what is going to happen to this blog. It is funded for a further 12 months so should be available on line until then. Sue as editor- in-chief does not want to continue.
Our beloved outfit is now for sale, including two MiRider electric bikes, a good selection of spares and I had just fitted new bathroom and kitchen taps along with a top of the range filter tap.
The setup will include the VW Amarok which has been updated. The brake system is electric over hydraulic meaning no air tanks and air pump on the vehicle.
I’m sure Sue will be able to have a detailed sheet with more info available shortly.
As For me……
Once this is over I am looking to joining many of our fur children that have passed over the rainbow bridge. I am sure there is a bench that I can sit on and see Tilley, Kipper, Sam, Bailey, Lilly, Polo, and my beloved Oscar again.
Henry has an important job to do and that is to get Susan through all this.
To my wonderful wife, life long companion, navigator, voice of reason, soul mate, I will miss you so much I have not even gone yet and it hurts. I love you so much.
Sue may post up dates, but I am unlikely to write any more. Goodbye dear friends.
Caravan Chronicles 
I’m so sorry. My sincerest sympathies go to you and your wife Sue.
Your ideas and advice have been so helpful.
I do hope you find your pets and join them at Rainbow Bridge
very sorry to hear this. Your posts have been very informative and enlightening providing an in depth view on different caravan aspects. Thank you. My thoughts are with you both.
Good heavens above Simon I am ever sorry to hear of such devastating news for both you yourself and Sue.
Words really do fail me.
I have followed your writings/chronicles from day one albeit a little in the the background of late since my dear Rosanna passed on the 2nd April 2022.
I will be thinking of you both into Eternity.
Simon and Sue, thank you both for sharing your passion for caravans with us. The news is extremely sad, our thoughts are with you both. I hope the knowledge that you are thought of fondly by people you have never met brings a little comfort during this difficult time.
Big hugs

Dearest Simon. I have never met you, but I feel as though I have some (limited) knowledge of you and Sue through this wonderful blog you have provided. Your open, honest, sharing warmth of character has shone through and provided valuable information and enjoyment to many people – Thank you for that. Above all else I want to thank you for the humanity you have shown since receiving this heartbreaking news. You have touched me deeply and I am sure you will never be forgotten by the many people you have connected with. This in itself is an impressive legacy, something to be publicly acknowledged, and to be very proud of. I wish you good fortune on your final journey.
Always enjoyed reading your missives particularly as we considered a 5thWheel Rambler at one point. So very sad to hear your news. You’ve shown such fortitude. Very best wishes to you and your family.
