Lizzie George, 58, and her husband Pete – aka “the axe thrower” – swapped a six-bedroom house for a motorhome in 2021 and they’ve never looked back. Spurred on by David Attenborough's Blue Planet, it was all part of their mission to live a more sustainable life. After spending winter in Spain, the couple, who have six children between them, are back in the UK for the summer.
But Lizzie, who runs an online green cleaning business, and Pete, who coaches people to set up axe-throwing venues, are already planning their next adventure. “My husband Pete is always coming up with crazy solutions. So when, in September 2020, we found ourselves with a dilemma, he had an idea that ended up changing our lives forever.
Pete worked for a bank at the time and had been offered a new contract in Brussels. “Would you and the dog like to come too?” he asked me. When the flat his job provided wouldn’t allow the dog, he wasn’t put off.
“We’ll get a motorhome,” he declared. “I can go to work and we’ll travel at the weekends. It’ll be fantastic!” It didn’t seem like such a crazy idea.
By then we’d already started our sustainable journey. After watching David Attenborough’s Blue Planet I’d been thinking about the single-use plastic in my home, as well as what I was eating and how I was travelling. We had loved caravanning when our kids were little, but the Land Rover Discovery we used to pull it wasn’t environmentally friendly.
So we decided to sell it and get electric bikes. We knew we weren’t going back to a caravan because we had nothing to pull it. So in September 2020, we went for it and bought a motorhome.
