The cover is off





Well, after several weeks on the drive under cover I was finally taken out today. I was so excited. The weather was dry if not hot but I was still excited. Will it be the coast or a nice run along the motorway to let me stretch my tyres. I was still excited even though we got on to the M25 and headed north. Well you never know we could have been on our way to Debyshire or Cumbria or even Scotland. You can imagine how gutted I was when after about 13miles I was parked up and left in a car park at Heathrow!
Now I could be wrong but the idea of having me was to have a more exciting life, go to nice places and chill out. Heathrow is not my idea of fun. Well let me tell you, I have made my feelings known and I have now been promised a weekend away the weekend after next. Devon here I come.
I don't care about the weather because I am going out to be admired. I'll have to have a wash and polish and be at my best.




Anyway I have added a picture of Sparky and Fudge at Crummock Water in the lakes last week. They had a fabulous time and even got to the top of Helvellyn. They didn't take me though!

Just wanted to introduce myself. I am Rosie a type 2 VW camper van. I was born in Brazil and brought over to the UK last year where I was adopted by JB and JE. As I am still quite young and was not adopted until late summer I have not had many adventures yet. That is about to change though. The weather is picking up and the road is our oyster (so to speak). JB and JE have lots of plans for me. Starting with Cornwall I think. I will be taking 2 border collies as well, Sparky and Fudge. Should be snug if nothing else. I don't go very fast at present but when my engine is run in I am hoping to get up to at least 65mph!
The question most people want to ask is "was your colour chosen?"
Well, let me tell you it was and it gets peoples heads turning. I have had cars pull up along side me on the motorway and passengers taking photos. One thing is for sure I won't be used as a getaway car!
If you see me on your travels give me a wave. JB has just about worked out where the lights are so you may get a flash in return.
I will update you soon on my travels.
