    Senator 6 indictor lens removal?

    Hi, One of my indictor bulbs has failed on my Bailey Senator 6 Carolina. Does anyone know how to remove the lens cover to change the bulb? Any help would be appreciated before I end up breaking the lens, thanks. Cheers, Mat.

    Overprotective parent ?

    Aimee, I got a 9 year old, 6 year old (both girls) and a 4 year boy. They all love riding their bikes and going to the play areas. I don't even allow the nine year old to go to the park on her own. I'm conscious of being too over bearing especially with the eldest but at the end day they're...

    Les Hautes Coutures Normandy

    Francis, We stopped overnight at Les Hautes Coutures last year on our return route from the Vendee. As an overnight stop for the ferry it's ideal. I think for a couple of nights it would be fine. Any longer though I'm sure there are better places. It's ideally located for Pegasus bridges...

    South Brittany - Weather in August

    Sam, I've worked and holidayed in North Brittany plus holidayed in South Brittany before I had a caravan. I found North Brittany more to our liking than the South - nicer beaches, towns and restaurants. The South is far more agricultural. As Scotch Lad said the weather, in Brittany, can be very...
