JULY 2023

After a super holiday I arrived home and came down with covid…….a bit shocked as I don’t know anyone that has had it since we got back to normal. I am pretty sure I caught it from a woman on the plane as she was coughing so much. I am staying in until I test clear as I would hate to give it to anyone, it’s all a bit of a nuisance as I had things planned for my birthday when home.

MY CAMPER VAN

MY CAMPER VAN

I have had this one about three years now, so am slowly making it my own. This year I want to paint the inside cupboards white so it brightens it all up, at the moment they are just plain wood. There are so many cupboards and storage plus a bike rack for three bikes so there is plenty of room when the family come with me.
