My First Year As A Blogger

My First Year As A Blogger Dipping my toe into the world of blogging   It was whilst we were camping at the  Moreton Camping and Caravanning Site in August last year that I began mulling over in my mind that I'd quite like to start writing a blog about the fun that we get up to when we're camping. The thought had previously crossed my mind, but there were so many other thoughts that had also accompanied it. My first thought was would I be good enough? (I'm still trying to decide on this one a year later!) My other thoughts included, would anyone want to read it, will I find enough to write about, how do I go about setting up a blog and how do I direct people to my blog?

Last week we published our Campervan Road Trip Playlist (Part 2). We hope that you enjoyed our rather eclectic mix! This week, we are very pleased to be publishing Volkswagen Camper Adventures Road Trip Playlist (Part 2). I have to admit that number 3 is on my extended playlist! Enjoy!

Unlike Volkswagen Camper Adventures playlist, my playlist doesn't include songs that provoke precious memories.

One such tune is Arthur's Song by Christopher Cross. This reminds me of being in a friend's car many years ago. This friend always drove old bangers that often broke down and we always ended up having 'adventures'! A 'quick' spontaneous evening trip to Wales (from our homes in London
