There has been a lot of talk about it but I never thought Surfer Boy would actually agree. Last weekend we missed out on a van at auction that went well above our price range. We didn't even get a chance to bid. I thought that that would be the extent of it but today Moondoggie called me in from where I was reading my book in the sun, with the words..'Dad's found a caravan but it's up in 30 minutes!' I thought he was kidding but sure enough Surfer Boy was on EBay and had found a beauty.
After much finger crossing we won the auction and have spent the last hour looking at each other in a bemused fashion - we now own a caravan. They are words I never thought I'd hear myself say. Mind you a couple of years ago I couldn't have imagined even wanting one!
Despite her war wounds she has so much going for her and will be a fabulous project for us both. S.B. can work on her bone structure while I work on her face lift.
Her details are fabulous - all original Bakelite handles, rounded mouldings, so many things that I have fallen in love with.
While we're not-so-patiently waiting for the house to be done we can get our teeth into our new love! Stay tuned for updates...
