Did you know you can follow us on our journey on YouTube!! Welcome to todays diary entry! Day 2/21 of the big slog completed and i have had a really busy day today and an extremely productive day. No so much admin but have done a few awnings which is always nice. A pleasant start to the week. My time in the shop is going to be more limited as time goes on this week as we are heading to Nottingham this weekend so we are heading up there Thursday night so that mean i want to have the van packed on Wednesday day to cater for any issues with stuff missing or not being where it needs to be or suppo ..read more

Did you know you can follow us on our journey on YouTube!! Welcome to todays diary entry! So, here we go! The long work streek is on! 20 days working straight through, containing 1 show in Nottingham, 1 show up near Preston and being in and around HQ in Northwich. We have shows on back to back weekends and this, from my understanding, will be the first time we have ever attempted it. I think because of me being here for the summer it takes the pressure off the Dodge because rather than to deal with it all on your own i can take some of the load away from him. The details for the weekend… The ..read more

Did you know you can follow us on our journey on YouTube!! Welcome to todays diary entry! A very much well deserved day off and we even had a bit of sun as well. I had a bit of a lie in as I was a bit tired after yesterday evening. I did wake up at an relatively early time but spent a bit of time trying to understand my new app for my batteries. The Moho was still in the body shop but was still getting a little solar so could see it in action. One of the first to do when one of the lads got here was to move it back outside to let the bonding settle and dry in case it rained over night. A bit ..read more

Did you know you can follow us on our journey on YouTube!! Welcome to todays diary entry! Today has been a very very very exciting day and when they told me it was going to be a big job i didn’t think that it was going to be as big a job as it was. It was pretty much from 8am until until probably 8pm but we went out with some friends in the night time so we left at about 17:30pm. It was met with several challenges pretty much from the off really as it was not a kit that the guys were used to dealing with as id bought the kit myself from Renogy. So that was Jame’s job to try and work that out ..read more

Did you know you can follow us on our journey on YouTube!! Welcome to todays diary entry! Even another day of rain cannot dampen my spirits today because tomorrow is Solar Panel day and i am proper proper excited once again a massive shout out to the guys at A and E Leisure for squeezing me in. Although we spend most time on hook up but it just gives us a lot more options but it is more about me not having to worry about wanting to put the diesel heater on or putting lights on on or the TV for example without lugging the Jackery about. I just want to get to San Sebastian now or Santander to re ..read more

Did you know you can follow us on our journey on YouTube!! Welcome to todays diary entry! Still feeling like a really really old man my back is causing me quite a bit of grief still so looking forward to Sunday to have a day off and relaxing as after Sunday i am probably not going to have a day off then for the next 20 or so days as we have back to back shows covering the weekends so will be looking at Sunday 26th for my next day off after the 5th. So wish me luck and no doubt i will be telling you all about it. I love the work but perhaps my physical stamina is not what it was last year but w ..read more

Did you know you can follow us on our journey on YouTube!! Welcome to todays diary entry! Today was a super super exciting day. It is big delivery day and we had about 3 or 4 stops from various courier companies. I think we had 3 or 4 from DPD (other couriers are available). So to day we had delivered 4 x 100w solar panels, 2 x 100ah lithium batteries, loads of other bit for our solar set up and most excitingly my new mobile phone. I have spent so much time over the last 6 months having to delete stuff from my phone because it has run out of battery so hopefully now that i have a 1tb memory ph ..read more

Did you know you can follow us on our journey on YouTube!! Welcome to todays diary entry! Had a slow old day today and what feels like the first day we have been able to sort of sit down and do nothing. The shop doesn’t open on Sundays so no work to be done although sometimes i like going to the shop and doing live chats or answering awning questions in the store anyway. I find it quite a therapeutic place to be and to work from so spent an hour in there today. The Beef fell asleep so me and Mum had a bit of computer time together which we seldom get. The Beef! After an absolute palaver with ..read more

Did you know you can follow us on our journey on YouTube!! Welcome to todays diary entry! What a difference a day can make, don’t get me wrong i am still not wildly mobile and I think that I am still a few days away from being able to erratically do the conga but certainly compared to yesterday i can lift my legs up. I am still going extra steady and bending down is a struggle but I can now pick stuff and sit down for 15 minutes without getting that dull ache in my back. SO i am on the right track and my anxiety about having a bad back permanently is starting to subside. Throwback Beef – 12 m ..read more

Did you know you can follow us on our journey on YouTube!! Welcome to todays diary entry! Doing the brave manly thing I opted against doing the whole hospital thing and just thought I would see how I would fair today. I had an absolutely shambolic sleep for two reasons. The first one was that as my back so in so much pain every single time I needed to readjust my position it was agonising. It was also starting to ache in almost every position so i found myself having to move more frequently than I do normally. Secondly, the Beef had another one of those nights, so at 04:30 he woke up and he wa ..read more
