the whirly-gig

a new addition to the family - the most amazing camper van we could hope for, is now pretty much ours. we have paid a deposit on the vehicle having been out to see it again this evening. we had a little trip out in her to wentworth and it drives amazingly well, especially considering it's 5 months older than i am! it can seat 4 people with belts, and can sleep at least as many, its got automatic gears, a 2 litre engine, good stereo, a fridge, a pop-top and soooo much character its untrue! in the past couple of years its been to cornwall, glastonbury, france etc.

so we've already got a years worth of holidays planned for her - greenbelt, cornwall, scotland, geneva (to visit my dad and jenny who've helped us out BIG time with buying it!), and hopefully sometime some breweries in and around belgium, bavaria and germany at some point.

And God's been amazing too in keeping it back for us - the amount of times we thought we'd lost it or just couldnt afford it, and it came back to us.

i've not been this excited about something we've bought in ages - more than the house!

so we should be able to pick it up mid next week, in time for the labour inducement party on the 16th... for now, the piccy will have to do.
