Day four of our return trip from Ciudad Quesada in Spain up through France to St Malo, this time from Le Goulet to La Baule-Escoublac with Cath singing the No Doubt version of the Talk Talk song It’s My Life at the end (so you can choose whether you watch it or not).
I’ve added Cath at the end, even though we argued about it as she thinks it’s a bit pretentious to do it and she thinks no one will know the song, but I think it’s useful to be able to show the clips to potential bookers if she decides to sing in Spain during my retirement.
We are Mick and Cath, currently working as campsite wardens in Ripon North Yorkshire, UK, but with retirement fast approaching we are planning a permanent move to our home in Spain.
Our plan is to retire with a single UK state penion to our apartment in Pueblo Bravo, Ciudad Quesada, Rojales, Spain which we bought with the proceeds of the sale of our UK home.
In the meantime we plan to use our 2009 Belgian built Maesss motorhome to travel in the UK on our time off and then take a big trip to France when we finally finish work.
The Youtube channel was set up to help us keep and share the memories with anyone who is interested, so, if you are interested in this kind of content and may be planning a similar retirement and need to know our costs, we will be sharing our expenses and experiences as we continue our journey.
Our journey really began when we moved to Canada in 2008 for Mick to become a long haul truck driver, where we lived in our truck and spent an adventurous time delivering oversized loads all over Canada and the USA.
We also ran a Blog during that time but didn’t have a Vlog due to lack of decent gear for recording in a big rig, although we do have lots of clips on Micks other Youtube channel… youtube.com/@mickflynnimages and lots of pictures on mickflynnimages.com.
We then returned to England for a while and spent four summer seasons working in the Loire Valley on a beautiful campsite, before moving back to the UK and staying for six years working on a campsite near Henlow, Bedfordshire.
In 2021 we moved up to Yorkshire to be nearer our house which had been locked up for a few years except for short weekend visits, although, as we were provided with comfortable accomodation at our current site we decided to sell up, and so began our Spanish dream with the sale of our modest house in Bradford, which allowed us to buy the small apartment in Spain.
Our next big job (which we will be documenting) is to teach Cath how to ride a bike as she has never had one, but we feel that a couple of small folding electric bikes will allow us to get out and about more to explore wherever we are.
Welcome along for the ride, we hope we can make it interesting and informative for you.
