We collected our beautiful shiny new Wolfie yesterday from Mercedes in Newbury, the shop where R saw a camper van in the window on the way past and decided to do a U turn on the main road so he could go in and see it. Ours is nicer than the display one because it is blue and it sparkles in the sunshine. We put petrol in it, collected my Mother and drove to an industrial estate on Hayling Island. An inspired first trip.
R is completing on the shop which means that today is his last day as a business owner, he will work for the weekend handing over but today is his actual last day and he left so early I wasn’t properly awake to appreciate the moment.
We have put the camper van away so it doesn’t get dirty and will have to drive our ordinary crappy cars for work but on Tuesday we are taking it to show the Blonde Bombshell in Cornwall, we’ll fill him with alcohol and take him on his first proper drive. We won’t be sleeping in him, just in case we hate it and want to change our minds, we will leave that until we arrive in France, or Belgium, we haven’t mapped out the trip yet, I think that will be the first major row. Hopefully J will be able to help us get organised, after all he is king of the itinerary!
