Coddiwomple/ing
One minute you have a settled life, a job, house and activities in the local community – then you meet someone, you sell up, and decide to explore around the country house and pet sitting!
Well that might not be what everyone decides, but it did to us – Annabel and I met a few years ago, and after some thought, (not too much) we sold my house in Cornwall and haven’t looked back since.
Being digital nomads, we have both managed to continue our employment, while enjoying the privilage of our circumstances by seeing various parts of the United Kingdom.
So far, we have had enjoyed a steamy beer festival in Yorkshire, Christmas in Sussex, New Year in Scotland and a breezy Easter time in Wales.
Along the way we have met some wonderful people, great pets and I hope those who follow these pages will enjoy following our journey.
Please feel free to get in contact with us, and we’ll be glad to share our experiences – of being no home, digital nomads!

Widmouth and Boscastle
A rainy day in Cornwall, so it was an easy day watching waves from the car at Widmouth bay. A quick drink at the Wellington Hotel in Boscastle – an interesting building – the first floor bears the high-tide mark of the flooding that hit Boscastle in 2004. It is impossible to imagine how water…

Castles and Friends
Saturday I had a relaxing breakfast and caught up with some work before my friends from Liskeard arrived. We’d agreed to meet and tour Pendennis Castle an English Heritage castle on the Falmout headland. A relaxing day wondering the old buildings, dodging the showers, and examining the castle’s role in our nation’s defense since Tudor…

Falmouth
Friday morning and I was catching up on a few customers, and met a friend for lunch. In the afternoon I was off to Falmouth to meet some friends on Saturday. Booking into the Falmouth Hotel, I had a relaxing evening just catching up on some work and chilling out in the pool. A peaceful…

Cornwall Bound
Thursday, and I was catching a train to Cornwall to catch up on some work and meet some filming friends. The train journey went well, and I arrived back in Liskeard to some Cornish sunshine. Despite the rain, I was able to squeeze in a few jobs and sell a laptop before camping at my…

New Location
Tuesday 6th found us once more packing a house, and preparing for our next house. The contrast between our Forest Row depolyment and Woking could not be more stark. Forest row was a 1930’s managerial house built on the side of a hill. It’s long corridor and stately style rooms fun and intriguing. Woking, the…

Return to Familiar Haunts
Been rather quite on the blog front for January – our adventures continue, but we were returning to familiar locations. For the first part of January we were in Dunbar, Annabel looking after her sister’s shop, and me, well I looked after the lovely labarador Lottie. Lottie and I had some great walks on the…

Cold strikes
I don’t deal with them very well, – waking today with all the signs of a cold. Annabel took Lottie for a walk, and we then agreed for an easy day in the house – we both have busy weeks ahead. Day spent catching up on work, and trying to fight of this bug.

Rounders
We have moved to Dunbar and Annabel’s sister’s house, where we are looking after Lottie the lab. Having shared a few drinks the night before, no one was in a real rush to move, however, while Annabel’s sister and family packed for their holiday, Annabel and I got on with a few bits of work,…

Family and Friends
We have spend a couple of days catching up with Annabel’s mum, dad, sisters and puppy. A very peaceful couple of days, before we start our new dog sit with Lottie, a lovely black lab, belonging to Annabel’s sister.

Motorways and Rain
Tuesday 2nd found us packed and leaving Forest Row – a place we had enjoyed, and thankfully have been invited back to look after the dogs next door. This meant an easier loading of the car than normal and a slow journey up north – another storm making the journey one of rain, spray and…
