Busy Bee!

Oh my, what a busy little bee I have been these past couple of days! I seem to have neglected my poor blog terribly and I do apologize. We are near the end of setting up our campervan hire buisiness (www.sundaecampers.co.uk) and the van is going out on hire this coming weekend so it’s full steam ahead to get everything finished in time. Along with that, a job and the allotment, life is a little hectic! I’ve also been busy filming and I’ve recently put my hazel archway up (a blog post and youtube video will follow shortly!)

My camera is still sitting on the shelf broken as I have not been able to take it to a repair shop yet. I am unbelievably lost without it and I am unable to take any nice photographs of my plot, I don’t own a mobile phone you see and my compact just doesn’t quite cut it (once you use a DSLR you can never go back!) Summer is just round the corner and it’s a little frustating not being able to capture all the flowers starting to bloom, all the veg starting to flower and the allotment looking lovely and green! I think a trip into the dreaded town centre is much needed, fingers crossed it will be a quick fix and a cheap repair otherwise I will have to look at buying another camera body.

On another note there are plans afoot to change my blog into a fully working website with recipes and tutorials galore. Don’t get me wrong, WordPress is great but I find it hard to find the plugins that I need and my brother is a website wizard so I thought a change was in order. It may be a couple of months yet until it’s fully up and running, theres lots of planning to do and it’s taking a while to find an illustrator to draw my website header. Exciting times ahead!

    A website would be great and more user friendly than the blog (dont get me wrong, LOVE your blog!). You are lucky to have someone who can help you with it.
    Great job with the camper van, looks fantastic! Hope the new venture is sucessful, shame i live in Australia as a camping trip in this van would be far more glamorous than any of the camping trips my hubby plans!
    Good luck with the camera 🙂

      A website would be so much better but it takes me ages to design things. I am super lucky but just need to bribe him now! �?�
      Thank you so much, it’s going well so far. Channel 4 has booked it for 4 weeks to film a programme with, which is great! Haha! I do love camping though, but then I have been camping in tents since I was 3 months old which might explain it.
      I really hope I get my camera fixed soon but I think that its going to cost a lot of money �? but then I suppose it is worth it in the end.

    I love your van and best wishes for your new venture. I’ve got a 1972 Westie too with exactly the same layout interior - I agree they are the best ;-)) Mine is turquoise and white. I really enjoy reading your blog and watching your videos - thanks for all your effort. x

      Oh turqoise and white sounds lovely! I do love older vehicles, even though they are slow they are full of character 🙂
      Thank you so much for all your lovely comments, it really makes my day reading them!
