While it is true that the Lighthouse groceries were cheap for their basic range of products, when stocking my shelves back h...

Irish Mirror After living in the remote countryside of Ireland all his life, an old Irishman decided it was time to visit Dublin . In one of the stores he picks up a mirror and looks in it. Not ever having seen one before, he remarked at the image staring back at him. 'How 'bout that!' he exclaims, 'Here'...

I posted this on another forum but thought some of our fellow GN's might get a laugh out of some of my experiences too. These experiences happened in my very early days of tenting and campervanning and were many years ago. The best sleep I ever had was in the driveway entrance to a cemetery, the neighbo...
