Our History
Our Name
Our motorhome is called an Itasca Meridian. Our chosen name of Meridian Meanderings might be difficult to say, but it has special meaning to us. One definition of meridian is the peak or high point of development, so with our recent retirement, we are eager to begin exploring a new phase of life. The whole concept of meandering connotates a river's slow journey, enabling us to discover the beauty around us.

Our Passion
I stand on the windy uplands among the hills of Down
with all the world spread out beneath, meadow and sea and town,
And ploughlands on the far-off hills, that glow with friendly brown.
And ploughlands on the far-off hills, that glow with friendly brown.
And ever across the rolling land to the far horizon line,
where the blue hills border the misty west,
where the blue hills border the misty west,
I see the white roads twine, the rare roads and the fair roads,
that call this heart of mine.
I see them dip in the valleys and vanish and rise and bend,
from shadowy dell to windswept fell,
And still to the West they wend, and over the cold blue ridge at last,
to the great world's uttermost end.
And the call of the road is upon me, a desire in my spirit has grown
to wander forth in the highways,
'Twixt earth and sky alone, and seek for the lands no foot has trod,
and the seas no sail has known........
The Roads, taken from Spirits of Bondage, A Cycle of Lyrics
Written by C.S. Lewis under the pseudonym Clive Hamilton
