We were long overdue meeting up with one of Amy's friends Millie, so what better way of christening the van with a maiden voyage to a local country park?
Getting the van off of the drive proved a challenge for Amy as our "automatic" choke was not wanting to play properly.
I had taken the GoPro with us but it was all too much and I wasn't allowed to film :(
With Millie living out in the sticks we had a pleasant first outing, being that little bit higher than normal it meant we could see over the hedges and realise how many fields we have near us!
We pulled up outside Millie's and was greeted with laughter "It's not as pretty as I was expecting!" thanks Millie...
I was relegated to the back of the bus so Millie could enjoy the front seats with Amy, so much legroom! I could get use to Amy driving on the longer journeys :)
We made it to the local park and started up the burners, we decided to keep it easy for the first outing, on the menu tonight would be chicken & pasta. No dramas whilst cooking having remembered the advice from the previous owners of moving the driver's seat all the way forward and tucking the curtains over the seat to stop them blowing into the flames!
Just as I was serving dinner the park ranger came over to investigate, we did offer him some dinner but he politely declined!
With dinner done we dropped Millie off and headed home fully confident that we had made the right decision and that we would thoroughly enjoy our time with Amelie.
