Just a thing…

Sure, Connie our campervan is just a thing. But it is a thing that has had increasing meaning for us over two years that we have owned her. She has enabled wonderful holidays, countless day trips, and provided me with a safe haven when I was looking after my dad.

Friday night was my last night in Connie, and Saturday was my last long drive (600 miles at the end of a 3500 mile trip round France and Spain).

We are hopefully taking possession of a new van, from Sussex Campervans, on Friday. When the two of us are sleeping in the van we could do with just a little more space. It’s the right thing to do.

But to be honest I was a bit tearful on the way up through France. I felt guilty, like I was abandoning Connie.

Isn’t that ridiculous.

It’s just a thing…
