All done and dusty!






Happy boy, happy van. Picked Nan up from the spray shop on Thursday. All the ugly rust has been banished.






Went out for a spin today, ended up at Yockenthwaite at the top of Wharfedale for a spot of lunch. In his infinate wisdome, Nick the Spray changed the awful bright white for the original Volkswagon  creamy white (got the serial number somewhere, must make a note). Looks splendid, just the old wheels letting her down badly, but I'm on the case.







A great afternoon, hooping, scoffing, throwing stones into the river and playing Mouse Trap in the van. A cracking Sunday all in all, and getting us somewhat excited about our up-comming trip to Scotland to mark our tenth wedding anniversary.

  1. Josh,

    She's lookin' mighty nice there. Here's to a summer of fun in the Vikings. I know our Super Viking will be pillaging and plundering the coast of Wales in a month!
