Latest Blog

I wrote some words over Xmas for another place but as they haven't used them, I've turned them into a Blog.

Absinthe makes the heart grow fonder...

Good read. Brings back memories of my first days.

Familiar looking carpet in one of those pictures too

I do have a copy of the article at home and was going to photo it when I got back but then saw yours when I opened Flickr to get my others. You OK with me using it? I can swap it later if you prefer.

PS I think it may be Scooby's photo of the Danbury Reception that I grabbed from Google too!   

Great write up Martin

Thanks Marcus.

A lovely read - thanks for sharing Abs.

I enjoyed reading your blog, thanks.

Great blog Abs, know what you mean about 'ker-ching' ....thought at the time 'well that's the pension sorted'.

Having said that, probably the best thing I did.  

Well done that man , couldn't agree with you more.look forward to meeting up again very soon!  

Think you've hit the nail squarely on the head there.

Brilliant Absinthe.
We know that journey well.

No worries. Was only joshing.

What a great story. In many ways it's very sad that your experience can't be repeated in the future. It just wouldn't be the same with a T5.

Really enjoyed reading your blog - there were some many things you shared in common with our start on the Brazi bay journey- thanks

A brilliant and insightful article/blog for anyone thinking of purchasing a Modern T2. We certainly had the same questioning thoughts while acquiring our Brazilian camper. Thanks for sharing ABs

Thanks for the kind comments everyone - it seems that our "journey" was very similar to lots of others' experiences.

Spot on. "What have we done?" was certainly my reaction to placing the order, and still is. Have to say friends do not view it as being as mad as I do somedays. Was it a good decision? you all know the answer to that one.
Extra bonus on the blog; I think it may be our green and white van in the background of your Danbury shot before an accountant and his money was swiftly parted. Also you feature the obligatory VW by foreign harbour shot that I am rather addicted to!

Wish I was by that harbour right now!

I am parked by a lake, it is commonly called our field, but is mainly underwater.

So, location might more accurately be described as Welsh Marshes

You have no idea how right you are. We live opposite a marsh, which now extends to most places except the house. I know a lot more about drainage than I did when we lived on top of a hill.

Great blog and some lovely photos too. Absinthe looks fab   

Thanks Jason.
