Tam will understand, after our recent conversation..... View attachment 936825

One not unlike that passed us on the motorway in Spain a few mile down the road it had been pulled in by the police. To be fair it was a white van man, except it was blue

 

[Northernraider]

You know those thoughts that wake you in the middle of the night ?

Well last night it was "oh no I've gotta use the van when I drive it up to wales and the Jon's collecting it but I'll have used the toilet "


But panic over the n&b has two cassettes so I'll just swap one over

 

[Bustup15]

I'm sure this one was 'the keeper' .

Nice one Tam - haven't kept upto date with this thread. Must scan back and see what you have planned next.

It was , but that was when I still had a base at my mums for 6 months of the year. And only 3 dogs. But fulltime is different to just using for holidays and I need a bit more space and storage. Hopefully this is the last change for a while now though. The n&b has a mix of all the things I liked about previous vans I've owned so it should be a keeper. And once I've fettled it it'll look like a new van

[pagey]

when are you likely to pick up the new one

 

[Bustup15]

Only had to flip back through 30 - 40 pages to get the gist of the new van.

Looks decent before you started any rectification!

Let's call this one 'a possible keeper'

 

[Northernraider]

when are you likely to pick up the new one

Depends on this one mot tomorrow. If it goes straight through I'm heading up to wales Tuesday morning . If it fails on anything I need the garage to fix then it depends how quick they can do it. So I'm hoping it goes straight through

 

[Riverbankannie]

As I'm the one who does stuff on our MH as a female I can quite happily accept being bored!

Ditto ! Been fashioning an insect net / stop dog jumping out net this weekend.

 

[Northernraider]

So you walk round the corner and this sight greets you what do you do? Laugh? , panic? ,drag him out by the shorts ?

Free range children anyone ?

Milo thinks he's royalty his head must be above others

I remember thinking it was funny when milo could fit under jade ... when ela can stand up under blu it's scary stuff.. gives you an idea how tall she's getting

Eying up the birds

I'm up in Calais now Tam, it's a beautiful city that many people fly through to get out of and its a pity because the people are lovely and the city is great, its always been one of our favourites, not to mention my wee parking spot by the marina although since I stuck it on park4night it's getting very popular now! but that's good for a place thats been unfairly tarnished by the whole migrant thing.... here's some pics from within a few hundred metres of where we're parked for the night
(It's even got a little bit of Blighty & good old Winston if you look hard enough!) Lol

I like that old church building

Yes I agree Paul, we had to stop off there once to take the dog for a walk and we were surprised at how lovely it was.

Yea it's a great place to visit, ive been staying overnight here for nearly 15+ years with no hassles at all, and there's also some great shops & restaurants too, we're actually booked into Le Marrakech restaurant tonight for a bit of grub, it's just a few yards from our park up and it'll put us in the mood for our next trip to Maroc!

 

[corconx]

Anybody here will find plenty of external shots in this thread.

Don't think Moby is going to sit for long, but he's obviously walking the dogs, as he hasn't responded to me yet!

I hate to tell you but I doubt everyone reads Tams posts. But he may advertise elsewhere too.

Written before he sold it

OK for the impatient folk. I wanted the outside looking it's best before taking photos . So I've been colour matching the new vents I fitted and then giving it a really good scrub up and polished and waxed it .

It's looking the best it's ever done . I was considering raising the price on it as i reckon its worth a good bit more. And garry is now agreeing

But I do have a member Jon Stewart messaging about it so will see how that goes first


Here's the photos . View attachment 936653View attachment 936654View attachment 936655View attachment 936656View attachment 936657View attachment 936658

Great job and yes price is too low

I don't think you have been reading it Jon Stewart has already bought it.

I like Calais, some great fritteries on the front up by the harbour entrance…

 

[corconx]

I have Lenny but leave it for a day due to visitors and it takes ages to read it all. He sold it about four posts after I wrote it !!! but of course it turns up several pages later - see what I mean. Miss not getting the emails that Jim cancelled.

 

[Northernraider]

Too late now.

But I'm happy with the price I got for it. It's about what I've spent on the van over the last year.

We quite often park where you are parked. Last time we went to one of the bars there for a coffee, it was definitely a local's bar.

I use an adapted baby gate, works a treat.

I've got a 'dungeon' for hubby but he's trying to get too fat to fit in ... and it's working!

I had a thought about the pink thing but being a lady I didn't feel I could possibly post it!

I miss my dungeon.

But the n&b has a big garage maybe I can build a mobile one

 

[scotzsue]

Have stopped over and been pleasantly surprised at both Calais and Dieppe.

 

[Northernraider]

Went out for a nice carvery dinner with Just smiffy
