Our last stop off was on the Welsh border near Oswestry, the location was on high ground with superb views across the Shropshire plain towards the West Midlands. Given the time of year, the weather was quite reasonable but we were still both glad of an electric hook up, specially at night. Most days I sat making small leather goods, taking in the views and dreaming about a spot of fishing.
Encouraged by friends and family, I have now opened an internet shop, (you may have seen the link on the right) how time consuming is that? It has certainly put me off advertising items on E-bay despite the number of people that use it. The early response has been encouraging though, with over 400 views in the first week.
We now move into that time of year when, despite four years experience in this way of life, we never know whether to strip out much of our winter clothing, or leave it a few more weeks just in case the winter sneaks up from behind to give us a defiant nip. The problem is, that we can not carry an all season wardrobe, there is just not the storage space or load capacity in the truck. I suppose the answer is, buy a larger truck, but with diesel now around £7.00 per gallon I am reluctant to do that. The last few days have seen us "Spring cleaning" washing the curtains, putting a little paint on the wheels etcetera in order that we do not look even more like a couple of destitute vagabonds. One thing is for certain, the west coast is calling and the voice is getting louder with each passing day.
