Girls' weekend

As Sam had already been away with his friends in the campervan, I thought it was about time I did the same.

Sam was away as I got Amelie ready and I soon realised how much he normally does when I'm busy packing!  It took a LOT longer than it should have done working out how to plug Amelie into the mains... who knew we had an adapter?!  

The next morning Amelie was ready to go, the fridge was nice and cold and I left to pick up my friend Beccy.  I had brought some extra flowers for Beccy's hair, but there was no need... she already had some :-)  
We stayed at Crowborough Campsite which was just right for what we wanted - it wasn't too far to drive, there was a pub and shops within easy walking distance and the facilities were good.  The only negative point was that there was a funfair in the field next door, but thankfully it didn't go on too late.  

The site was fairly busy on the flat pitches with electric, but there was hardly anyone in the field and we pretty much had it to ourselves.
We had a great weekend away, ate a lot of cake and watched a lot of Castle!  I'm now a lot more confident about driving the van on my own now too.  Thanks for coming with me Beccy!

More pretties by Amy!

When I was little, I used to love the Flower Fairies, so I couldn't resist buying these door knobs for our cupboards and drawers!



My favourite one is the one below as it reminds me of photos of me and my sister Emily, whose name inspired the name of our van.  It had to be 'Amelie' though, so that the 'FBA' at the end of the registration could stand for 'Fun Bus Amelie'! 


I also bought these door knobs for other cupboards in the van - hopefully they'll go nicely with our curtains and bunting.
