Despite her ultra busy camping life, and some really oddly shaped foam pieces, Auntie Pearl has done an absolutely amazing job on the new cushion covers - I can't believe it, they look fantastic! And she still makes one of the best roast dinners around. Thanks Auntie. xx
Now just awaiting its delivery with baited breath (and fingers crossed that it fits!) The 2-ring electric hob has arrived too and Auntie Pearl rang today to say the cushion covers are finished, going to collect them tomorrow - yippee! So think we could be all set for the Newt Beer Festival.
Not written in a while but things still progressing (amidst weddings and VW meets) - Ant fitted the new sink and waste pipe before becoming an E-Bay addict in search of a tap. He took out the Rock n Roll bed for me to paint, which I think now looks much better than the royal-blue-with-a-turquoise-tinge it was before. 
Trouble is the matching fabric holdall thing that hangs in front of the sink unit now doesn't match anything and I'm not really itching to get back on the machine to make a new one; the 'cottage-industries' interior will have to do for now.
Last weekend we went to Stonor Park to one of the most established VW rallies and got a new hot plate (thick stainless Steel 8" VW badge), a new handbrake handle and a new (but very old) knob for the gear stick. :-) not much else there and couldnt find the specialist insurance man, but Ant managed to add me to the existing policy and drop the cost down quite a bit... must be my most excellent driving ability -lol. We did, however, see a number of Red kites circling above which was impressive, as was the sheer number of campers in the park, all lined up in the long grass at various stages of rework. Roll on next weekend... Isle of Wight music festival!!! Sorry Bee, you cant come this time, from what I hear, you will need to rest ahead of the Newt beer festival in July :-)
