Lovely time at Jo and Paul's

First location done.  As you can see, here we have lowered the tone and blocked the view at Jo and Paul's.  A lovely trip.  Thanks to some good friends for a lovely quick break and lots of helpful advice.

First miles on the van

243 miles on the road to Preston, Lancashire. All is well and good.  Now falling asleep on our good friends Jo and Paul's drive! Zzzzzzzz

Bike rack logic problem solved

Another trial

Departure date set

It all gets more official. We have our departure date set. The one way ticket is booked. So.....

Sunday 27th July at 14:20 we are going sous le manche avec le grand van blanc! 

More excitement.....and more reality! Lots to sort out yet, not quite sure if we will be ready, but it will all happen!

The 'fleet'

So here we go! We have Sunny Van. Suggestions needed for the motorhome. Sadly the number plate only suggests how we may feel after a few glasses of wine on a vinyard! Don't think you can call a van that! . Ideas welcome though!

New motorhome

Our new motorhome is lovely! The kids and I spent the night in it successfully and survived whilst only on the drive. Huge thanks and appreciation  to Mark and his family (previous owners) for obviously caring and looking after the vehicle very well. Thanks also for taking a lot of time to guide the novice family through all the systems etc. Hopefully I'll learn how to 'drive' the systems properly....much akin to driving the Apollo 13 I imagine!

Keep following us though Mark, and you'll hopefully see your 'old' motorhome slowly proceeding around Europe as of August.
