the pimping of Beryl the yellow peril...

I've officially finished my first year as a student... handed in my final assignment of the year and its free time until September!!!  - well except for the summer project - of which I am awaiting details.  What a fascinating year it has been - I've learnt lots and while I look forward to a rest without any deadlines I'm looking happily anticipating what next year will bring.

So almost time on my hands... not really -  this week I have been getting ready for our extensive Ireland tour.. we are meeting some friends and going 'wagon train' style camper vanning down through Southern Ireland.  To celebrate this adventure I have pimped the van!!!   Beryl is most glorious in her new yellow coat of paint and she deserved an overhaul on her interior as well.



 Dr Fred said I could do what I liked inside so thats pretty much what I did and now we have a cosy cheerful funky interior.




including dashboard farm with lots of fields... sheep, cows, chickens, ducks and pigs...


and meadow cab roof.... more flowers being grown...

Scotland part 2

The second half of the week continued in much the same vein.  We had one rainy afternoon which was actually quite nice to be holed up in the house with the rain lashing the windows.  It probably wasn't quite so nice for the two visitors that came on their bikes but they're tough cookies - and its only water- but I did feel sorry for them having to cycle six miles back down the track in the wind and rain, but given Scotland,  it wasn't as bad as it could be.

Funchal

So after three days at sea we finally hit Funchal in Madeira.  An escape from the ship, and I have to say it was very pleasant indeed.  First of all the weather is really splendid.  Especially when you know that everybody else in the UK is suffering grim storms and vile winds..  Over here it is between 22 and 25 degrees is really quite warm.    Funchal is a pretty city. It's built on a hill it with lots of lovely white houses with stunning red roofs.   In order to get the best of it we walked along the sea front until we got to the cable car and we took it up the hill.  It was a really good ride much longer than we imagined and it's quite weird because it goes right through the town -  completely over everybody's house...  So not only do you get a lovely vista of the bay but you can view the beautiful rooftops and get to look in everybody's gardens and to look at their picnic sets.. clean washing nice plants... scratty backyards.... We got off th
