On our Way

 So we're off at last! The van goes well and I'll try not to talk about the 1978, ex firetruck engine with only 70,000  miles on the clock etc etc , whoops here I go again but it did go well. After many hello's and goodbyes in Holts Field and Bristol, we arrived in Portsmouth in plenty of time for our two night crossing to Santander.
It's a good time to introduce Krysia's new iPad mini as I think it's going to be a star performer in this years trip. As a sketching tool, it is already become her travel anywhere companion and she'll jot down a likeness without you knowing, in a jiffy. This handsome hippy is captured in full charge of his new OM 314. What the heck is that I hear you say? Well, it's a 1978, ex fire........etc, etc!! I do go on don't I!! It's the engine type, a classic.

Responsible for arousing in me, my new love affair with a large lump of steel ! Are the now well known Two Wolfe's. Well, to be honest, Wolfe 1 is the culprit but Wolfe 2, has just as much enthusiasm in old engines, that I'll call them both guilty of inspiring the loving longevity of our 28 year old bus. Vannie breaths a new lease of life and could feasibly outlive me!!
Again, their image is swiftly captured by the ipad artist and is as good as any photo if not better.





The ipad's talents do not stop there! As a camera, it is readily at hand to capture a fleeting moment due to it's home in a hand bag. It's brilliant.

I will share the images as soon as we get a decent internet connection as the one on the boat is so slow. This will probably be in Morocco about 3 days away, so until then, please watch this space for the ongoing adventures of the Berber Beynons.
