Van Turismo Diary

We stayed at A and E on the forecourt as we didn’t finish unloading until gone 10pm. We had ordered a pizza and i must have had 1 slice and then zonked out. To be fair the last day is always the worst day for shows. Not only are you at your tiredest by this […]

What a difference a day makes. The weather started off amazing and there was a burst of about 20 minutes of rain which was absolutely apocolyptic. And there weas 2 or 3 of those outbursts. However, every cloud and all that because what that did do was 2 things, firstly pushed the prices of ponchos

It was a slower day for sales for me today, which i was quite suprised given the flyer i got off to yetserday. I came into today a bit hungover but certainly fired up ready to get going. At shows the Dodge always insists on bananas, yoghurt and honey. Which i love anyway. To be

Made the fatal mistake last night of not packing the awning away ready for todays move and instead heading off to the pub. The weather last night was beautiful and i thought to myslef lets get it done now instead of tomorrow but id didnt. And it is lashing it down and we had to
