Hey looks great, glad you are enjoying it. I love mine, yep it is old on a 52 plate but it is great to drive. I changed my manual one for an auto back in September due to knee surgery.
May I say.....
As a newcomer to camping (of the non-tin variety), I have little interest in caravans, and much less in whatever is used to drag them about. Indeed, the first time I spotted "Click on My Homepage for Blog", it was not a difficult decision to think "Thanks, but no thanks"!... and head off back to "Camping under canvas".
However, sat here, as I was, this morning, waiting for "herself" to finish her much earned lie-in, and having already decided that today will be a "not bothering to get dressed day"!, I decided to while away a half hour or so, reading about the exploits of a complete stranger (Yawn!!), whilst hugging my third mug of steaming hot black coffee (I prefer it without cream, but as we didn't have any, I had it without milk, instead"!!).
And you'll never guess what? (Actually, I strongly suspect you know what's coming next! )
I THOROUGHLY ENJOYED THAT!!!
Well written. (at least it seemed that way, to someone who devours literature about as much as an anorexic in a kebab shop!). Lovely pics and descriptions. (I guess the fact that most of the visited areas are a little familiar to me, helped, tbh.)
And all served with a beautifully apportioned helping of (very) dry humour!
Excellent read!
And I understood every word..... despite the accent!! LOL!
(Actually, that's not strictly true, as I have no idea what "JFO mode" refers to, so would appreciate enlightening on that score).
Scarlets fan, I have to point out that I'm under the impression that the locals wince somewhat, when referring to their local delicacy as a tart, rather than a pudding, and that I am also a little concerned about the amount of "adult beverages" yourself and Mrs Scarlet partake in, seemingly every evening(!!), but other than that, I am so pleased that I decided to "waste" half an hour on your very informative, very witty, and above all, extremely entertaining blog.
Why, this has even made me consider that "tin-tenters" may well be "alright, after all"!!
I may even speak to one now, when next passing, on the way to the shower block (We don't have our own shower, obviously...... frozen or otherwise!! )
Thankyou, Scarletsfan.
I'll keep a look out for further blogs from you... if I may!
Wow, convinced then! I stumbled across a 2002 auto whilst looking for a Note auto so sold my XTrail manual instead of the Almera lol. 60,000 on the clock.

The X Trails are great aren't they, will you consider one next car change do you think?

Trying to hunt down a low milage one as we speak
I'm another who originates from near Bakewell and am throwing my vote firmly behind the Pudding :-)
