the chesterfield eye
Loved it just wished I hadn't had to go on my own. But then if I had waited for Glenn I would never have tried it. Heating OK something we must have done wrong in Gabby or just a quirky thing that sorted itself out. She is having her TV wired up next week . Hope you are OK

Rome and Budapest
Hi We love Rome and spent a week there and didn't see everything. Had a day in Budapest - lovely city we enjoyed it very much.

Interesting grave
That was a very interesting grave. I like visiting graveyards. I think it is interesting to see how they in various parts of the world treat their loved ones after they have passed away. /Ake

A table tomb

graves
It's known as a table grave in Britain. They were quite prominent around the 18th century but not many remain in graveyards now. I too love graveyards particularly French and Italian ones. Spend ages reading the inscriptions on them. Fascinating places . Where are you off to next ?

Thankyou Dave - just a random old shot from a phone camera. Pure luck - but it was rather lovely in the snow

Rain!
Reminds me of why we try to spend winters out of the UK! I hate the rain and cold although its chilly in Tenerife at the moment!

Rain
Hi there in chilly Tenerife , it even started to snow a little this morning. We have to take Gabby to Newark tomorrow to get the lighting and heating sorted . Envy you so much . I have a stinking cold which started yesterday and how I wish I was in the sun. We have plans to get away in the winter - getting too old for this weather but sadly at the moment we have family problems that keep us home. Still things will change I have no doubt about that and to be fair it is only 67 days to go until we get off for a month in France.

Welcome, Gabby...
so how did you pick that name?
21st December 2017

how did we pick the name
Well - we thought long and hard Bob - Suzy was Suzy Sundance so she had to be something starting with a G. We started with Globestar and thought that she is on a Fiat base engine so something Italian - hence Gabriella - shortened to Gabby as she is also German built and it seemed to fit . We just love Gabby and cant wait to get away again . Hope you all have a wonderful Christmas

What a good looking van. Our Jez is most definitely male.

Jez -
Named after Jezzer from Top Gear ? Are you writing Blogs anywhere ? Love reading them from other people and seeing where they take their vans.

The van looks lush!! I wondered yesterday why there were no pics! France was very cold when we were there 10 days ago!! Good luck on your travels

It is rather odd going from a motorhome to a panel van. I still am not sure how we ended up there. Lets just say a puncture in Italy, being in the right place at the right time and seeing one in Bologna . Wish we were in France now - Christmas is definitely going to be in the UK sadly but counting down to April already and France. Have a lovely Christmas - x

Goodbye Suzy!
Its always hard saying goodbye to a campervan......but......Im sure the new one will be fine!! After reading your blog I think I shall stick to maps and signposts and not bother with satnav!!! When do you get the new van?
