We've now now set up camp in our little van – christened PIG, for no better reason than we were “slightly disappointed”(putting it mildly) that it wasn’t a bit smarter and a lot better equipped! (2 teaspoons, 2 knives, 2 forks – 2 mugs etc etc. - you get the picture) The fact that it needed it’s leaky hot water system replacing before we could set out, didn’t endear it to us at all.
Having now managed to stow away all our “stuff” (with the help of a few cardboard boxes under the sofas - very little cupboard space), and get to grips with how to make things work,(you can’t actually plug the kettle in to the electric point, as the lead won’t reach without the help of an extension lead – no available workspace!!) we are slightly fonder of it than yesterday, and fully expect to grow to love it over the next 6 weeks.
When we return home, we shall probably start new careers redesigning camper-van interiors. Andy – if you fancy bringing a few tools out and doing a bit of DIY, we’d be delighted to see you!
Hot off the press - now have a new challenge. Drying out the duvet!!!
Caught the edge of a cylclone last night - Note to self:- impressive rain and an open overhead vent do NOT make for a dry bed!! Derrr!
