Scottish Shenanigans

One year in


 A little over a year ago we started the process of converting Moira from her mouldy, carpeted and confusingly constructed self as we made her into our new home. It was a very difficult process and one that posed an absolutely absurd amount of challenges. It was, however, one of the most satisfying and enjoyable things I have ever done. Getting to share that process with my girlfriend then fiancé has made it all the better. We have navigated the trials of working full time and converting then living in a van even through the bloody cold winter. As the final few days before we give up our jobs and head off come to a close this has been an awesome chapter of our lives and the next one looks to be an amazing (albeit extremely scary) one.

20 Days left to goooooo!

A slightly dinged up Moira in pumping station in the magical town of Gainsborough With only 20 days left to go now the pressure is on to get Moira travelling ready. She is back in the garage tonight (hopefully!) only one more day to get any pesky goblins out of the gearbox and avoid any nasty shocks breaking down in rural Switzerland! We've got a few bits and bobs left to sort with her interior and getting the various paper works finalised. Although fortunately paperwork seems to be a job that has fallen under Danni's remit and not mine! This blogging business seems fairly straightforward (albeit with more coding than I was expecting) although I do have an overwhelming sense that I'm an internet blogger from 2006 with the quality of my posts and blog generally! Oh well... See you all when the big event finally kicks off on the 17th of Feb! - Rob

Past Adventures

  A forest in the Netherlands that provided a nice home for a night (albeit with an abundance of cowboys) The calm after the storm of getting stuck up a mountain in Switzerland and dramatically burning out the clutch (we're talking plumes of smoke) Who even knows where but it sure is pretty The classic Moira park up in Notts
