travelling the road

We've done a bit of a round trip of the South of the UK seeing friends & family & also getting our home through the MOT. The MOT is always a stressful time but when it is your home it is even more so! We went to friends in Southampton to get the work done & the MOT. Mechanically there wasn't much to be done except a new back part of the exhaust but there was lots of welding to be done underneath :( This involved 3 days of Simon in the van putting out smoldering woodwork when the welding got too hot too close to our floor. Pretty scary stuff knowing your home is catching fire! At last it was all done though & the van sailed through the MOT & we were able to look forward to another year on the road :) After the MOT we visited friends & family in Bracknell & Stevenage. Then it was back to Cheltenham for Lee's 20th birthday (crickey I feel like an old mummy now!). We stopped at Haresfield near Gloucester for a couple of days before heading South. Here's some pictures I took on our travels...
