Literally can't wait to get over in a few weeks. Well done to the Hoyles on their return visit!

When “the Hoyle’s” start their own eco project as an honoury Hoyle ( mothering Father Hoyle and grandmothering the Hoyle offspring can I please come too …

Bring a vegetarian for 42 years I think I might quite like it … sounds like a wonderful place Pirate Ben has created and inspirational particularly in these somewhat unpredictable times of climate change . 😊

I also realised we forgot to mention the infamous top secret Pirate Potato Salad. The kiddos having two portions each is testament to how good it is. Please please please can we have the top secret recipe?

The kids might have swapped sides in the the car beds but so did the beds so they have maintained their preferred colour three years on!

Ah thank you. We had fun writing it and was brilliant being there again. Apparently according to the kids we are never interailing again (it’s intense!) but definitely back to barracks another time!
