A Sunny Day in Wales!!! {Hot Rods, Busfest & Picking up our Camper}

There can't be many days that you wake up as excited as I did last week when we were due to pick up our new camper....

I bounded out of bed and flung back the curtains .... oh great rain...Well we were headed to Wales later so  pretty expected they said! Luckily those pessimists were wrong and as we drove across the Severn bridge the rain stopped and the sun came out!

There must have been a show on in South Wales because we spotted 4 or 5 Model T Fords on our way across - Fabulous! As well as a few great American Sleds. If I hadn't been on my way to collect Lily, I'd had been tempted to follow them.....

We soon made it to Swansea and as they'd just had a new delivery, we had a good old nose.... well it would be rude not to wouldn't it!?

Lots of lovely new stock...

If we hadn't already chosen Lily, I could easily have been tempted by this split....

 Quite fancied these curtains in another van too...

Not sure where this funny little chap was headed? A new fatface store maybe?

Rummage over we loaded  Lily onto the trailer

On the journey home we passed quite a few buses heading Busfest direction!! Many looking puzzled as to why a renault master was beeping them and waving (until they spied the trailer behind!)

And even formed an unofficial convoy at one point!!

A short stop in Cardiff  caught us watching the reflections in house windows.....

Before finally getting  her home :)

Do you like VW Campervans?

It's no secret that hubby and I are huge VW fans, it is indeed how we met. And even though we've been away from the scene for a few years now, it's still runs through our blood! Can you believe we had 6 between us when we first got together! We've owned t25 vans each, which we both seperatly converted to campers, a mk1 golf , a gorgeous notchback and too many beetles to remember!! So when we realised we needed a vehicle  for the taking to shows with LilVintage its no surprise our minds turned back to Volkswagens!

After a couple of weeks researching on the computer we found a lovely bay in Wales no less! So, after my brother's wedding celebrations in Cardiff we headed down the road to Swansea and viewed a 1975 Panel Van....

Totally bare inside we'll have the fun of designing the interior and transforming her into a day van! (First thoughts are seating and a cocktail bar of course!)

Being a complete VW nut I was in heaven so when hubby was test driving I was admiring the other stock......

Look at all those pretty colours in the parts they have.......

So we put down a deposit and when we go back she'll be coming home with us...

How about you? Campervan fan?
