    Picture
    I came across this fantastic facebook page through a friend Lorraine Dale. Her Grandson Scott and his friend Will, have established an innovative business buying and selling vintage clothing, with the long term aim of travelling the World selling their items from a camper van. What a wonderful concept, one I wholeheartedly endorse. Click on the link below to take you to their fantastic page. As a 'Roaming Brit' myself I can't stress the importance of living your dreams, just like Scott and Will; well done lads!

    CamperVan Vintage is a Vintage Clothing page set up by Scott & Will. We love the clothes we can get from charity shops and thrift stores from all across the UK and even from the fantastic charity shop in Gran Alacant.

    The idea to start our business came from our desire to buy a Camper Van and travel the world selling our vintage & designer items at boot sales everywhere. First though, we need a Camper Van!! All proceeds go towards our Camper Van Fund.

    “Old & new, vintage & sometimes just bangin’. “ - CamperVan Vintage sells brands from Ralph Lauren, Diesel and Levi’s to Topshop, unbranded clothes and vintage gems.

    You can find us on Facebook, Instagram, Depop, Shpock & Etsy. Search @CamperVanVintage and enjoy shopping vintage!

    Welcome To The World Thomas Power!

    Picture
    On Sunday 2 September 2018, my Cousin Emily gave birth to a baby boy, Thomas Eric Power. I would like to wish her and her partner Ben my fondest wishes at this special time. Emily and Ben will make fantastic parents and I am delighted for them both, Bringing a child into the World, must be a very special moment, one I have not been fortunate enough to experience myself.

    Thomas weighed a healthy eight pounds and by all accounts my new Cousins birth was relatively straight forward. My Aunt was lucky enough to be at the birth and is as thrilled as all of us, at the new edition to our family!

    Yesterday, three days after the birth, Emily arrived to show off her little boy to the family. Everyone took their turn holding Thomas, even me, unusual you may think, since I rarely hold babies, let alone one so young. Nevertheless it was an experience I shall cherish for a long time to come.

    One again, congratulations to my Cousin Emily and Ben, I am thrilled for you both and wish you all the best for the future!

    Welcome Home!

    Darrell has finally arrived back in the UK, before flying to Australia to care for his Mother in a months time. The flight from Alicante was the worst he had ever experienced apparently. He had paid a premium to fly into Southampton, just a few miles from where I am staying in Portsmouth. Typically things didn't quite work out the way they should and the flight was delayed, initially by just over three hours, which quickly escalated to a staggering eight hours, after the Flybe plane was redirected to Birmingham Airport. Instead of arriving at 9pm on Monday evening, he arrived at six o clock in the morning on Tuesday, after a long coach journey from Birmingham International Airport. I finally saw him at 9am, due to work commitments....It's good to have him home!
    We had a relatively relaxing day yesterday, walking into Fratton to get some shopping in ASDA with my Aunty Trisha. Like me, Darrell was amazed at the variety on offer in this British supermarket, compared to the Spanish equivalent. Spanish shops in general are years behind those here, with a poor selection of produce on offer. Needless to say Darrell was in his element, just like I was when I first arrived in Portsmouth three months ago.

    After a few pints in John Jacques, it was a gentle walk home and a relaxing few hours before dinner.

    Darrell will be in the UK for a few weeks; it good to see him finally after spending the last few months finalising his job at Alicante Airport in Spain. So far he seems more than happy to be back home, but nothing is forever as they say. Darrell's stay will only be temporary and he will be back in Australia soon enough.

    A friend recently asked if, if I wouldn't prefer a more conventional life, rather than all this insecurity; in their words 'living on the edge!' Well the answer to that is clear and may actually surprise you. I am quite happy with the way things are, since I have never known anything different. If my life was normal, I doubt very much whether It would have been so memorable and I wouldn't have the memories I have today!
