She did it !

One of Moonface's most attractive qualities (or one of her most infuriating, depending upon the circumstances) is that she's decisive.

We kicked around the idea of a camper-van last October, but decided that we should wait until January or February before doing anything, as prices would (should?) be lowest now. So February arrived, and we started looking. We literally looked into vans on the streets, and viewed a couple in the flesh and on forecourts. The the Iveco turned up on Ebay, during the only snowy week this winter. But we looked at it, as it was only ten miles away. We didn't bid, we bided.

After the aution finished, with no sale, we asked again, and Moonface went ahead.

A deal. A purchase. A mssive great hulking van outside our house.
And, we hope, the chance to get away from it all at a moment's whim.
Mountains, beach, moorland. Here we come. We hope.
