    Thanks everyone she is happy driving away in her wee red Fiesta.....and I'm a bit lost in the mornings now!!

    In new big big news!!

    We found one! A and I are just home from buying a van to convert to a camper. I'm so excited we finally found one, we've been looking for almost a year and increased our budget slightly but we are now the proud owners of a silver Ford Transit. I'm selling my wee car and we will have A's car and the van between us. Any money from my wee car will go into converting the van......or that's the plan.

    I'll be surrounded by huge sheets of cardboard for a few weeks while we design our floor plan. First step is getting windows installed in the back. It will be a long process as we do bits as we can afford it but it will eventually be our own wee space to escape and enjoy

    what an amazing project to do together!
    The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.

    Adding Windows is the easy part. It’s gonna be a fab project. Will you be rolling your sleeves up and helping with the conversion?

    Little red fiestas are fab. Welcome to club.

    Eeeeks tomorrow morning is my sponsored paddle board event. I'm excited but a bit nervous too. I love to swim.....but in a pool. I love to walk on the beach by the sea but dont like getting in it. However I have lots of supporters coming to cheer me on...... or record me falling in....multiple times they hope!! A has put half a dozen deck chairs in the van......they really are taking spectating to the next level. Io wondered tonight if she should bring her popcorn!!
