Holidaying in South Devon: a caravan staycation
We landed on our feet, or steadies, when we came to live in Devon. It’s a county with 300 miles of coastline, two national parks, an array of family attractions and hundreds of beach resorts, holiday parks and camp sites.

An Easter break in Cornwall
We were really late planning our Easter break, mainly because we’ve been arranging lots of trips for April, May and June. It suddenly crept up on us. With our lack of organisation it could have been a bit of a disaster but it turned out to be an amazing weekend. A week before I had…

A North Devon caravan weekend
Last weekend we ventured out in our caravan for its first trip of the year. The occasion was a family wedding in North Devon – two hours from our home in Dartmouth – so we decided to make a weekend of it. Having a caravan can be a massive bonus when you are travelling around…

Our garden festival #biglittletentfestival15
This bank holiday weekend was a bit of a departure for the Tin Box household. Instead of taking away our caravan we threw up a tent in the garden instead. It may have just been a beach tent but it was a tent no less and allowed us to take part in the Caravan Club…
