Catching up 3 - A Wet and Windy Dubfreeze

Roll forward 2 weeks from the last post, and you will find us at ASDA near Stafford, having lunch before heading into Dubfreeze.  We parked up, The Mark parked his T2 next to us, and by the time we came back, these two lovelies were also parked behind us.


Off we trundled to DubFreeze.  And the rain started....  We did, however, discover a bonus with The Mark having bought a (as yet unnamed) left-hooker.


We can go from van to van very easily!

Sam loves sleeping in the van, and although he ended up sleeping in tracksuit, hoodie, and woolie hat, and giving himself a stomach ache trying not to go to the loo in the middle of the night (it was that wet and cold!) he had an excellent time.


And although the weather was wet, and the van was small with all 4 of us tucked in it for a considerable length of time, Tyler had a good time as well.  Something to do with grumpy avians.  Or naughty porkers.  Or something.


We had burgers, beans and sausages.  I think.  We had burgers anyway.  They cooked quite nicely in the end.  (As a side note, I have several recipes that I want to try when we are up and running.  Possibly another page on the blog might be required!)



Of course, whilst the camping was good, and the company was lovely, there was really only one reason for being at a cold and wet Staffordshire showground.  Brian's new seats.....


We went straight to BAT when we got in, and collected them, all bubblewrapped, and they were beautiful.


Jack and The Mark installed them, and the colours were just right! (Well done Mrs BAT!)


This picture isn't great, because the wind was well and truly up again by now, and we were keen to be on our way back to the FlatLands, so it's a bit hurried, but you can just about see how everything matches in the way it should.



Now we are all caught up.  Now, we just have to wait.

The waiting is so hard.  Brian goes to ATT at some point in April, and ATT and BAT will work together in harmonious synchronisation to produce the Brian of our Dreams.  The one where the cupboard doors shut properly, where the space under the bed can be used for storage and, the best, the one where the bed goes up and down as easy as anything, and can be slept on by two grown adults comfortably!

Well.

Two grown adults and this fellow!
