LOOS, POOS AND VIEWS

TRAVELLING IN OUR SLIPPERS- 7 WEEKS IN.

If it seems like it is many weeks since the last blog- well that’s because it is. It’s not you, it is definitely me. I think we are now in our 7^th week of living life on the road. Or not as the case maybe because the world has gone to pot. Well actually It has gone to hell in a handcart and I am wondering if we are ever going to get going and actually live on the damn road. So far we have just dragged round in circles from car park to car park. However, the best thing about all this travelling or not travelling is that I am doing it from the comfort of my slippers. Or maybe they are not as comfortable actually as they look. They are just so freakin warm. I would say that warm slippers are essential. I wear them all the time even when we are travelling. If I were driving, of course I would take them off. But I am not. I do take them off if I am going into the supermarket or for a stroll. I am not a complete slovenly bitch by any means. However, I do not always don an over shoulder boulder holder because basically I can’t be arsed. Being warm is essential so my long dress jumper with the muff at the front- well how else do you wear your muff?- and leggings. Warm socks and tights and sometimes leg warmers- obviously it is a bit of bugger when you limbo sideways into the onboard loo and have to do the Paso double with it all to get it down and back up. Of course we have a nice little fire, it is both gas and electric but only good on electric if we hook up- so we do our best to conserve the gas. If we can possibly, in the day time, get away with just wrapping up a bit warmer then, we do.

We are now tucked up on a little campsite come farm. A nice lady with a cock and some chickens and goats, took pity on us and let us have a space on her land because lockdown is making life hard to travel- and it looks like it is going to be like this for some time to come. At least until the end of March. Very disconcerting but I am sure we will leave base regularly to shop and sneak past a gorgeous view or two. Not that we don’t have gorgeous views- we do. Over the hills and far away. We have a loo with a view and I can wave at my friend across the way whilst having a poo. The joys of living in a van.But we are nicely tucked up for a small fee for electric and water. And why we chose this will appear in the next blog. Which I may write today or I may not. You can never tell with me!
