Yeah, there is a possibility I could be moving to Worcester if the Mrs decides to take a gap year. Plus my sis lives there. I really like it. The town is nice and the countryside is rather preeety too.


Make sure yuo look into the area before you move, if you do come to worcester or its surrounding areas. It does tend to flood lol

Aargh I wanted to paint it tonight, but i got told at 4 o clock that a caravan needed painting before I went home.. had to make the paint, (no colour codes on caravans) mask it and paint it, only just got home. :P Does anyone see why this project is taking so long? :D

If all goes well, I'll get it done tomorrow night.

I only put one coat on the bits that you don't really see, two coats on the dash rails, cross member, and rear bins/ window surrounds.

Must go for a shower now, I have a green face for some reason.
