End of an Era

Writing to you from the sofa at Mark's parent's house on a rather cloudy Saturday, about as cloudy as my head after last nights work do.  I can look up and see Mark working on the van outside (lazy wife) I hear you say, I have no defence except that I would probably 'get in the way' of the production going on out there.  I have got our hands on the new 2012 guide to camper van parking spots of Europe, small places, often car park like where you can camp for a few days and access water and electric...the best thing about these?  They're free! Here are the photos from last weekend, Mark made a window.

BEFORE.....

AND AFTER...

THE NEW PORTHOLE

  Today we have been squeezing foam in preparation for the bed/sofa cushions, I had to walk away from the beautiful fabrics at £22 per metre!   

Soon enough I will be covering cushions and packing our bags.  I'm finishing off at work now, Monday will be my last office day.  On Wednesday me and Harvey are taking a city break in Paris.  I am very excited about the euro star experience and being in Paris for breakfast time...

Time for an update....

Hey everyone, so as I have only 6 days left at work I should probably be on the Southwark system not Google, but never mind!  I am blown away by the work Mark has done in the last few weeks on the van, the back of which is unrecognisable.  Take a look....

The beginning of the kitchen and storage areas....

Since then all the 'pine look' has been toned down with some more grey felt (no one needs splinters while in your camper van bed), and that little top cupboard?  That's the wardrobe! 

MARK MADE THIS!  As someone who is a bit crafty but not that skilled with all this hands on business I am well impressed with the bed frame.  This is the sofa position and rocks down into the bed.

The bed frame in its place...cosy!  

We're having a little drink in The Hermits Cave in Camberwell on the 14th April if you'd like to join us from 7ish.
