What we have learnt in three months

  On the 15th of May we will have been on the road with Good Gabble for three months. So what have we learnt?

1. That you can never predict one day from another as the unexpected will always happen.

2. That living in a small space together takes a lot of patience and understanding but also leads to a lot of laughter and fun.

3. Never to sweat on the small things as just when you think things are tough something wonderful happens.

4. That there are definitely not enough hours in a day - there is so much of this world to see and explore.

5. That no matter how organised you think you are there is always something that stops you being where you want to be, but then maybe you weren't meant to be there anyway.

6. That the world is full of the most amazing and wonderful people and there is not enough hours to meet and talk with them all.

7. That nature is the most amazing thing.

8. That we were right - we do not need those material possessions. The bread maker I just had to have stopped working the other day. Did you know you can make Foccacia by hand? Absolutely amazing!

9. That you can cook anything on the BBQ and it tastes much nicer than on the oven.

10. That you can feed a family of 4 using only one small gas cooker.

11. That you only cook what you are going to eat and if you cook to much then you have to eat it.

12. A small caravan fridge does not hold enough food for a family of 4.

13. That we really do over shop when buying the groceries and that less is better.

14. That you can do amazing things with dehydrated peas and tinned 4 bean mix.

15. That marshmallows taste wonderful toasted in the open fire but go up in flames if held there too long.

16.That magpies are a gift from nature. There is nothing nicer than a morning and evening chorus from the magpies at your van door.

17. That our dog will not pee in the freezing cold early in the morning on the wet grass.

18. Fresh air and the great outdoors really does lift ones spirit

19. That working together as a team not only makes the load lighter but is a lot more fun.

20. That there is a lot more to life than television, houses and societies 'norm'


And most of all.......That if you believe in yourself and what you set out to achieve anything is possible


Live well........Love well...........Laugh often.............................
