Thank you for those Christmas Presents to equip the Motorhome

Here we are standing side by side courtesy of Photoshop at our camping kitchen in the lounge. We are each holding the wok which has cloned itself so that we can demonstrate how happily we will share all domestic chores in our home-on-wheels. John has his hand on the kelly kettle and I am holding a green plastic collapsible bucket. The camping kitchen unit was bought at Millets with Christmas gift tokens. Many thanks to our children for their sensible and generous prezzies. John as you can also see is seldom parted from his warm Nepalese bonnet - luckily I too have one but mine is not a fashion accessory like John's. I wear mine because the weather is freezing and the wind blows.

Yes - shopping for this trip is fun. We have studied the very useful 'Go Motorhoming Europe' by Melanie George and Chris Doree bought from Vicarious Books http://www.vicariousbooks.co.uk/ and on their recommendations visited http://www.millets.co.uk/ . We also bought a portable mini washing machine made in China through http://www.amazon.co.uk/. from http://www.limeshop.co.uk/

Daunts Books at http://www.dauntbooks.co.uk/ provided guides and maps. The Kelly Kettle or Storm Kettle came from The Eydon Kettle Co.

There is much more equipment to tell you about - and other people to thank.

Jonathan for example, who took the time and the trouble to show us around his motorhome and give as lots of advice and tips.
