All Change Please

Betty in the new garage

Not only did I think it was a good idea to change jobs (the jury is still out on that one) but because my landlord was putting the Concord Street Clarendon up for sale, I also found myself moving house a month or so ago. Whilst I remain to be convinced about the new job, […]

Paint, Pints and Peaks

Bug at Almscliffe Crags

After a very chatty start to 2018 I seem to have reverted to not writing for a while. It’s not as though there hasn’t been plenty going on since Oli picked up his new van at the end of May – there has! I sometimes find it more difficult to write when I’m struggling in […]

VW Festival 2018

VW Festival squad 2018

The first VW show I went to with Mark and Sheila must have been somewhere around 2002 I think. Not only was it the coldest I’ve ever been to (camping at Donington in November is not to be recommended) but it also witnessed one of the worst hangovers I have ever experienced. Mark’s home made […]

May Musings

Clarence and Klaus with the Langdale Pikes in the distance over May bank holiday weeken

Stanford Hall 2018

Clique 53 at Stanford Hall 2018

Here we are in May and we’re already at post number four for the year, which is the sum total of last year’s efforts. This last bank holiday weekend was not only apparently the hottest on record, but also saw me return to Stanford Hall for Leicestershire and Warwickshire VW Owner’s Club annual show. This […]

Spring Dub 2018

Beach Buggies at Spring Dub 18

It feels like forever since we saw any sunshine, although it does seem as though winter may finally be giving way to spring.  Having fallen victim to the snow back in March, this year’s Spring Dub up at the Yorkshire Showground in Harrogate had been rescheduled for the middle of April so Mat and I […]
