Meet 'Ike the bike'

'Ike' started as an Ikea bike which was one of about 9,000 given to Ikea staff in the UK back in 2009. Its a great little folding bike which does about 0-20mph in 30 seconds and folds into a carry bag which will go in Piccolo. I will use this when Lorraine is doing any running as her personal trainer I need to have access to this kind of equipment to keep up!

Getting really close now!

Its just over two weeks before we leave the Chapel to the new tenants. Final tidying up of the utility companies and what a fiasco that has been, because we are coming back to the Chapel that causes so much confusion and half of the overseas call handlers put it in the 'too hard to do' pile before we finally speak to UK staff!.
The trailer has its new ammo box storage system attached and the folding bike has arrived which needs a tidy up and a few spares. We are beginning to find final places for everything in the motorhome and so far plenty of space left... That will all change!.
All the books on 'Aires' in different countries has arrived and all I need now are country specific maps to back up the sat nav (Yes I don't trust it that much!)
Off to Lorraines mum in Cornwall today to take a load of personal stuff down and more boxes going in the loft.

Start Date!

We have got our date!... We will be on the road on Friday 2nd March!... Will stay in the UK for a couple of weeks before heading towards the Channel Tunnel... eeek!

Clever technology!

Got one of these fitted to the motorhome and and can also be transferred to the smart car. It will constantly monitor and record both our driving giving accurate speed and exact location plus the traffic ahead. In the event of a nasty encounter it can detect sudden braking or movement of the vehicle and will save the recording 20 seconds before and after the event so we can play it back on our laptop. Lets hope we won't need it but will give peace of mind!.
