    The car seems fine now thanks.

    Definitely not a no spends day today. 

    We are at a festival so assuming it will be very spendy.

    We are heading to McDonald's for breakfast then filling the van up with diesel so that's an expensive start to the day before we have gone far.

    We are meeting friends at the designer outlet at 8.30am before heading to the festival in convoy.

    We will grab lunch from a food stall but we are planning a bbq for dinner tonight.

    It will be a long day I expect. Got to get up in a few minutes and I don't expect it will be a peaceful night's sleep tonight

    We had a great time yesterday. This is such a friendly event.



    I don't think we will be doing much today. We have no great rush to set off from here really. We will have breakfast and then head off home I think.

    Need to get the grass cut today. It will be the only chance we get. Need to remember to refill the water tank on the van as well. We are back out again on Wednesday evening after work.

    Didn't get the grass cut. It was raining when we got home.

    Van is pretty much ready to go on Wednesday night. Just have our clothes to put in there on Tuesday night. 

    The event organisers have sent us a lovely picture of Milo that was taken as we entered the event.



    I think we will definitely go back to this event next year.

    Dinner is prepared for later. Roast pork and all the trimmings tonight.

    The dog is shattered. He has gone straight to bed 🤣🤣🤣

    Indeed. A very nice short week. 

    Forgot to mention. We might end up making a guest appearance on Million Pound Motorhomes on Channel 5. The film crews were there and got some footage of us, Milo and the dog.
