March trip, coming together slowly.

So, ten days since my last posting, that's not good. People will think I have forgotten about them. Firstly "Hello Cookstown". You know who you are even if I don't. Actually I was trying to pull in a trip across to Ireland on the next run but I don't think it will happen as we will not be in the usual van. Time for the BIG NEWS!! We are expanding our fleet yet again with the addition of a 7500kg truck which should now be adequate for almost anything you can throw at us. While the usual van is good for most things, it does get a bit dodgy sometimes with the load weight and we are restricted when people bring large items of furniture with them. So the next trip is in the big one, I need a name for it now - We already have "Old Faithful" and the "Ice Cream Van" so now this one needs christening... Entries on a post card please. To give you an idea it's a damned great big black thing about three times the size as "Old Faithful".
The upcoming trip has been delayed due to the weather England has been having but I think it is now about sorted. If things stay as they are we should start out in time for the weekend of 7th & 8th March and cover Preston, Inverness (Hi Wendy!!), Tamworth, Nottingham, King's Lynn, Frinton-on-Sea and then across the puddle down to the Limoges area again before coming back home for a few days and then continuing down to Javea. WooHoo, another stay in the Port Denia Hotel!! We may yet be adding pick-ups in Liverpool and Kent to that list but I have a couple of weeks to confirm those still. I will update the map at every chance I get. If you live near the Denia area and are planning a move then please come and join us for the evening and a chat, the drinks are on us.
I have added a link to the webcam from the website and the main blog now ready for when we get the mobile internet up and running. For the time being if you follow it you will either get nothing at all, or if you are really lucky a live feed of our resident Robin trying to get at the fatball hanging in front of my office window.
There are many other things in the pipeline at the moment so rest assured I will keep you informed. Hasta la vista!!
