Our homepage has been updated so that it now shows maps of our motorhome treks, this is a big improvement because it lets you select what you want to see directly from a map. The problems with google Timeline continue, as far as we can see google Timeline is no longer any use to us.
I’m conscious that although this website is titled “Wandering Winetasters’ Website” there are not many mentions of wine and the various wine producers that we visit. As soon as time permits a new section is coming in which we will talk about the places where we bought wine, how much it cost and how it
Sad to say that the performance of Google Timeline has gone from outstanding to abysmal, so, although i leave it running the Timeline is no longer much use for tracking our motorhome journeys. Of course that leaves us with a problem, what is the best alternative to Google Timeline?. On our last motorhome trek through
Mobile phone data use when on a ship or ferry Which apps use the most data when roaming and how can you find out? While on the ferry returning from Santander to the UK I was surprised how many people were receiving messages and phone calls on their mobile phones. I wondered if they knew

Google has moved storage of Timeline data onto individual devices, that means all your Timeline data for your phone is stored only on your phone and is no longer accessible via a browser. This is causing me a massive problem, let me explain. All the maps on this website show our travels as they were
We plan a trek through Spain in September (2024), as soon as August is over. There are two good reasons we like September in Spain, first the heat of July and August is past, and second the school holidays are over, so we’re no longer needed for grandparent duties. Our preferred way to reach Spain
This is hard to believe, but the Reich twin pump that we installed only 14 months ago has failed. This is dreadful. These Reich submersible pumps are not cheap and should last much longer than 14 months, we are not using the Reich pump every day, most of the time it sits in the motorhome
