Back to the Caravan

Today, via Dunhelm to get some more items for the caravan, mostly the basics for the kitchen which we managed to get.  There are still a few more pieces to get but those are in town and I might pop up on Friday to finish off.  The back seat of the car was full again.  I also did a small grocery shop of tea, coffee that sort of thing for the van so that we can grab a drink when we are down there.  We have a squawking kettle  Cannot have a caravan without a squawking kettle!  OH loves it not!

We then went on and I started cleaning, and putting items in place.  Couple of places might get switched around a bit, but that will happen when we are on holiday.  Basically we want to keep necessities that you would use everyday in the van so that we can just hitch her up and run when we want to go somewhere.  I need to get some more groceries but that will happen over the next week or so.

Here are a few photos of the caravan with some of the items bought.  We have fitted most of the shelves and cupboards out with the rubberised shelf matting to stop things slipping and sliding.

The storage tins and the knives and knife block on the worktop.

A side view down the length of the van towards the sitting area.

My Bumble Bee Gin Glass it is a large glass.

OH's Humming bird one.

The promise of some Gin for two - need to get the Gin yet though.

Glasses hung up in the Drinks/Cocktail Cabinet.

A closer look.

A view of the kitchen looking towards the bedroom.

The bedroom area.  The bed shape is angled at the bottom and so when choosing a duvet, cover, sheets pillowcases etc. I forgot to take this into account and I ended up buying a King sized Duvet.  As a result it is not hanging as nicely as it should.  I had also forgotten that one side of the duvet would not be able to hang down.  I possibly could have got away with a double.  Well you live and learn.  However everything is extremely comfortable.  The bathroom is through that door to the side.  There is a skylight above the bed and so with a bit of luck will be able to watch the stars.-

Wardrobe area.

Back to the kitchen.

Looking towards the seating area.  We had thought this area to be two single beds.  However it would seem that you can turn it into a double.  Excuse the shopping, I was still unpacking.

Very gradually therefore we are starting to get to grips with the van and getting it organised.  We were after comfort more than anything else.  This should suit us both just fine especially with the hobbies we have.  Time to see some of those beautiful places we have in this country.  We are very lucky.

Catch you soon.
