A Dash to Empty the Bucket before Time Pulls the Plug
We’re Bob and Deborah, the slightly bewildered storymakers behind this blog. Picture a middle-aged couple, teetering on the brink of old age, yet somehow managing to dodge the responsibility of growing up. That’s us!
A lifestyle that’s just a smidge crazier than most!
Our time on this planet is a bit like a cheap hotel stay—limited and often feeling far too short. And let’s be honest, our bodies are like fine china; they can only take so much punishment before they start to chip and crack! So, what’s the secret? Live each day as if it’s your last. Trust us, you’ll never find yourself wishing you’d stayed home binge-watching yet another series on Netflix. Instead, you’ll look back and think, “Now that was a year well spent!” So, go out there and squeeze every last drop of joy from this wonderfully chaotic ride we call life!

Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming ‘Wow! What a Ride!’

Embracing a World Without Limitation
This adventurous lifestyle we’ve embraced isn’t merely about gallivanting from one place to another; it’s really about stuffing panniers full of unforgettable experiences! We’re firm believers that life is far too short to be parked in one spot for too long. Each day presents a delightful chance to uncover something new and craft memories that will last longer than the latest pop song. So, grab your hat and join us on this merry quest of discovery!
The Nomad Lifestyle
While we have a beautiful house overlooking a golf course in a quaint Scottish borders town and a wonderfully quirky flat in the trendy West End of Glasgow, our lifestyle could easily tire even Marco Polo!
Our lives are a delightful chaos, oscillating between our sailing yacht, a cozy tent, hotels and motels, and the welcoming spare rooms of our two grown up daughters homes. And guess what? We’re soon adding an AWD off-grid motorhome to our list of abodes!
Send Us Your Best Questions—We Promise to Respond Eventually (Probably)!
While we can’t guarantee an immediate response, we’re absolutely thrilled to hear from you! Don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions or need some advice on how to break free from the daily grind! Let’s make the most of our limited time on this planet and truly experience life to the fullest!
Come on, you know you want to—unless you’re a hermit crab, in which case, you might just want to stay in your shell!
