Welcome!

Welcome!

Welcome to a Dull Woman’s Van life.

I have always been drawn to the outdoors. I like nothing more than heading out with my camera and capturing the magical flora and fauna that the UK has to offer.

This blog is an opportunity for me to share some of the photos I have taken. From birds, flowers and animals, to landscapes & some celestial sights, I always have my camera with me.

Plus there will be food. I love cooking, and crafting great food on the 2-ring hob in the van comes with its own challenges.

Welcome to my travels; I’m so pleased you can join me

I’m Sal, a writer drawn to the quiet magic of the natural world. My blog gathers the moments that shape a week: the first light over the hills, the call of winter birds, a walk that becomes a memory. I write about landscapes, seasons, travel, and the gentle threads that connect us to place.

Most of these moments are shared with Pepper, my ever-enthusiastic companion, who reminds me daily that even the simplest walk can hold a little wonder. Together, we explore the magic tucked inside an ordinary life — the kind you only notice when you slow down, look closely, and let the world reveal itself one small moment at a time.
