Well, anticipation is a big part of any event and as departure day gets closer, the tension rises and where am i going to put the kitchen sink? The trouble ( delight ) with the van is you've got so much room to bring so much stuff that what not to bring becomes the question! With 8 weeks planned to do anything that takes our fancy, we'll probably spend a lot of time trying to work out what we could do with so many choices. In fact, we're likely to sit and stare in amazement at the unfolding drama's that will happen around our van. But just in case we get bored, we've got plenty to amuse ourselves with!
Last year, we ended up recording a Berber band in a cave, doing what they do for their local parties. They had never heard a recording of themselves before and we left them with a copy of the ''album''. We were blown away with their innocent charm and talent.
Another time, we had casually set fire to a bottle of camping gas! it was sending jets of flames high into the air right next to our van. We looked at it stunned, expecting it to explode any second, when over ran the campsite nightwatchman, picked it up with his bare hands and hurled it as far as he could away from us. We spent hours thanking him and attending to his wounds! The fire brigade were very pleasant too, they put the fire out, told us politely what we'd done wrong and gave us the now cooling bottle back so we could exchange it for a new one!!
No, never a dull moment when the Beynons are camping. There are no fools like old fools!
So we'll pack what we can and leave it in the van ( sounds like a song coming on ) and take what comes each day.
Anyway, I waffle on, as you do.
Saying for today:
We fall where we fall
Thats All
Goodnight
