Peggy's Mundane Thread

New campervan on the horizon, Cap'n. Sunshine and frolics ahead.

I think this years summer is happening in the next week, better get on it.

On it in Torquay today, the sun that is. Corbyn Head, Thatchers Rock ..LOL
Acquired the excellent new camper, so watch out, I'm off the injury list.
First stop West Penwith for a few days, then Padstow for the yearly homage to those strange North coast folk.

The bees are hovering over the garden apple trees. They're so impatient. Wait until next week.

fracture clinic today,Might go Morrisons after.

T4 or proper old school?

I've had a bay window Vdub in the past along with an autosleeper, and a couple of conversions. Avoid the cumbersome motorhomes.
I've picked up an excellent rust free galvanised base vehicle, and am converting myself. I like the process of converting, it doesn't take long, and those old campers are just dreadful on fuel. My VW did about 17 to the gallon. I'll get 40+ with the newer model , provided I keep it light.

Bought a tarten Barbour scarf for 99p today. RRP - £69

1st of May tomorrow and the bastard heating is still on? Brrrrrr!

I prefer the self conversion as well, it's cheaper buying a ready converted but by the time you change it all to suit yourself the savings gone. I'm chopping in the T5 and thinking of going Peugeot Boxer or similar although I'm not sure about the rusting on them. Great shape for a camper.

Bit small mate although they are loved by people that use them. Obviously as I'm in the T5 club I'm not allowed to speak to Bongonauters as T4 owners aren't allowed to evn acknowledge us fivers, cliquey as fook.

Like the Pasoti version of camper vans then!

New lock on the front door after last nights shenanigans.

Off today so I started relaying the patio.

Wife and kids are alive and well (If you are wondering!) 

Out walking looking for stickers  position

My favourite young Braeburn in blossom in the garden sun today. We like the Summer.

Had to collect some Cadmium Red from the Post Office earlier, I was home when the Lemon Yellow arrived .

No water for my doggy outside the pub. FFS.

Ive got a lump of Ham Hock bubbling away in some well salty water.

When cooking ham I usually follow mothers recipe which is change the water with fresh three times. Ok unless you like salty ham I guess.

The sun is shining, not a breath of wind and I'm laid up "doing a Taylor" with my bad ankle.

the ham is rather nice, got some green olives (don't like black ones [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]), stilton and brie to go with it.

I went to Slapton this afternoon. Lots of grockles parking really badly, and it was extremely hot. I think I’ve got a touch of sunburn.

the decorators are repainting Greggs at the moment.
