Sonesta, It would be lovely to meet you sometime.

Are you able to nip over to Lincolnshire Lanes anytime over the Bank Hol whilst we are having the meet?

Oh Lava Lamp - I would really love to but sadly, as we have a shop and it being in a seaside resort, bank holiday is an absolute NO GO! August bank holiday is our busiest weekend and there is just no way we could get away (blinking holiday makers lol) but I really hope to come along to one of the winter meets. Trouble is for us a lot of the popular dates for all the meets coincide with busy times of the year for us - so it is difficult to get away at such times. Roll on retirement!

Thanks for the invite tho - will meet up some time I'm sure. Have a good time anyway and think of us slaving away  .

Hi Omega,

I think we all have to do these little jobs and finishing touches before our vans suit us perfectly and feel like home. We have just about got all the bits and bobs and extra electric and tv sockets sorted now and our Winnie is just how we want her. Just cannot wait now to get away again in her and for all these holiday makers to dissappear!  We have a safari room/awning and used it for the first time a few weeks ago and it certainly gives you a lot more room doesn't it? It's like having a little canvas conservatory extension I thought!  We will only use it when we are going to be static for a few days or if we come to a meet - but it will be useful to have, especially if we bring our little grandaughter along with us or any other family members.

Anyway, I'm glad to hear you enjoyed your first time out in (don't know her name yet lol) and I am sure that this will be the first of many happy times to come.

What made you change over from your tourer to a campervan Omega - I would be interested to know?

Happy touring.

I would not have change from a caravan if I could store at home but we have an 8 mile trip to the storage to collect it before we set off. This means we have to clean it out each weekend before we put it away. The camper goes on the drive we just jump in and go same packing up.
