    Buddy the bus: 69 Dormobile

    The bus has been on the back-burner for a while as the guy doing the bodywork has to get a split double cab ready for Volksworld and I said from the start I didn’t need mine back until spring, but it’s now painted and going back together. I will be seeing it on Friday but got sent these….

    It’s a keeper so inevitably I’ve got to get it done. Having decent-fit panels and someone who is very good at working on them makes the process quite enjoyable to be honest, I don’t have the time or space to do much on it myself. Probably won’t enjoy getting the bill though…..

    Definitely, ideal for something quick or if it’s raining. I remember being given a baked bean toastie years ago, shouldn’t work, but it does.

    So a couple of weeks ago we decided to go to Latitude festival, we had a few friends going for the long weekend and coincided with the kids breaking up from school. We headed up early on the Friday morning and met friends with their late bay just outside, 3 hour drive without a break as we...

    Well, finally feels like things are starting to return to normality again, even been camping! Went for a long weekend to one of our favourite sites, just under an hour from home, weather was decent apart from a rainy afternoon. Got all set up and the coffee on before the rain.... Didn’t last...
