some news
Alex has lost her other tooth from the bottom 2.
Alex has been coming on leaps and bounds with her reading, I think I could say she is reading now. It’s always been a bit hard for her though, dunno why, but she’s well on her way now.
Marcus has been reading his joke book he got a couple of years ago and has come up with some new jokes. Wow, he’s reading for pleasure!!! Have been trying to sell him on the idea of horrid henry books since hearing Ernest was reading them. might get him one for his birthday.
yay to children who read!!! (what’s this reading for pleasure thing
)

I must have your email address somewhere…anyway…saw this and thought of you, I know it’s not a VW, but it is very cheap indeed, and if I lived where you live then I’d be going to look at it, as I think it looks fab!!!

wow, that is very cool looking! shame there’s not a photo of the upper bed but it looks in amazing condition for its age. Looks as though those bench seats make up the bed, which don’t get in the way of the cupboards, and that’s a huge bonus as far as our experience goes!
Looks like it’s got 3 seats in the cabin, so those would probably be easy to put proper seatbelts in - the back seats might be more problematic but you could just go with lap belts?
Probably a bloody nightmare to get parts for something so old, but there we go, it does look ultra cool!

That’s gorgeous - love the woodwork - let us know if you go and look at it. Have a spot for Commers as our old neighbour used to have one of those blue vans (obviously not converted!).

and if you go look at it, and it looks ok but you don’t actually want it, I’d be tempted to say could get it on my behalf!!! Was very tempted to drive up there!
