(I’m a bit late writing this post so although it’s being published in November the actual pilgrimage occurred in October) I’m not a very religious person, I’d probably say I’m more spiritual. I am also a huge lover of architecture and history which intersects and has been influenced deeply by religion over the centuries. IContinue reading “Pilgrimage to Norwich Cathedral”

Monday In London all day for work and video editing all evening. My first new video, posted last week, seems to have the golden touch as it’s already at 2.4k views and has doubled my subscribers. I’m a bit shocked really as my previous videos never really got more than a couple of hundred views.Continue reading “Camper Build – Week 4”

An exciting day today, because I’m going on a work day out to the Historic Dockyard Chatham. I’ve never been before and you all know I love boats, so this is a great work day for me! As expected it takes me an hour to drive out of London but once I hit the M25Continue reading “The Historic Dockyard Chatham”

Now that I’ve finally cleared the back of the bus, I can see the space that I’m working with and double check the dimensions and flow of my interior layout. Ever since I put the deposit down on Betty I’ve been working on my interior and services layouts. I’ve watched lots of different van andContinue reading “Camper van Interior Layout”

Monday I have the next two days off work as I knew I would need some recovery time after my weekend electrical course. In my mind this was going to be two full days of working on Betty, but things never work out the way you plan. Half the day is a torrential downpour, soContinue reading “Camper Build – Week 3”

Carrying out that kind of renovation requires a lot of knowledge and skills that I don’t have, but which I am hungry to learn. InContinue reading “Electrics Course”

As if one major project is not enough, the imminent approach of winter and the current bad weather has prioritised some house projects. The biggest one being in the garden. As those of you who followed my YouTube channel last year will remember there was always drama with the hot tub. Mainly because when theContinue reading “Let’s Build a Deck”

You know when you wake up and you know it’s going to be “one of those days”…. First thing I noticed at 6:30am was that I had no internet. It’s only been a couple of weeks since I last had the internet engineers out because of a broken fibre cable, and based on the angryContinue reading “Just one of Those Days!”

Monday It’s a beautiful sunny and warm day. Clearly the weather hasn’t realised it’s October, but I’ll take as many more days like this as we get. I have a very full work day of meetings, and hanging over me is the task of removing all the deck board from the back of Betty. IContinue reading “Camper Build – Week 2”
