high ho old silver!...

well here it is!!!

what do you think!

pretty stinkin cute right?!

this my friends is the result of an idea and an impulse when they run head on into each other....at full speed....and when under the influence of a vintage loving pal.....you know the type...the pal that eggs you on....go on buy it, its fab....yeah of course you need it!....no Nic wont mind at all, she will love it too!....how cute will we look in it!!!.(yes she said that!).

And you guessed it I didn't need much convincing.

We accidently found her for sale on a side street in Byron.....and one look at her and I was smitten. Even my mum fell in love!...now that's saying something. I think it was the nostalgic pull that got her.

there is work to be done but only cosmetic, and even that is minimal.....umming and arrghing about painting the interior.....but at the moment am spending days in her having morning tea and pretend camping with the kids (who adore it!)

it is parked at mums cause you know who buys a caravan without somewhere to put it.....well that`d be me!

the white wrought iron chair and wheelbarrow of flowers were placed within minutes by my mum.....and my step dad had the kitchen table out to take a little surface rust off before you could say "wanna cuppa?". hmmmm maybe not a good idea to park it there?.

that's a lychee tree to the left and a lemon tree to the right.....she is in good company.

She has already had overnight guests....my teenage niece and nephew were visiting and volunteered to test drive her......she got the thumbs up!.

Now I keep referring to her as a she but almost instantly she was christened "ol silver" after my dear old pop......and I cant wait to have the sign writer visit who is going to put his name up near the entry light....pride of place.!

Not sure how many road trips will be had but she is very roadworthy and registered so its definitely a possibility sooner rather than later. But I just have to get used to being a proud vintage caravan owner first....it was a surprise let me tell you.

You all guessed correctly of course.....gee I cant put anything past you can I?

and yes I will no doubt bore you senseless with photos galore.

your input is greatly needed by the way.....should I paint all the doors white.....try and brighten her up a bit?

I love the curtains but the backing on them is in a bad way.....what style to go for???.

oh I think for the moment im just going to sit and have that cuppa.

will keep you posted!!
