Well I feel relieved that the gas is sorted just need Mr racer to make & fit a shield over the exhaust.
& a few jobs to tinker with.
Today I took out some bits for the van one thing was a wedge thought it might be usefull to hold bathroom door open but guess what? I discovered that if I remove my overdoor coat hangers etc the door opened right back nicely to make a dog guard or room screen very happy about that!
I need to give her a sponge down she has been out to play rather a lot already.

Today I cleaned the oven!
Very pleased with my self.
I was going to ask how do i adjust the oven door as it wasnt shutting fully but cleaned hinges & dada door closes much better!
Bought this vintage camera bag...thought it could be attatched to the slanted front of engine cover to house my cassettes
MOT time.....its actually late!
Started up no problems went for mot afterwards I decided to go get lpg...stopped off to take some pics.
A pulled up in his car he was so happy to see the van said he had one & his daughter went out in it with him sat on middle seat...he was swelling up with memories! Said he had pics of his but sadly shortly after selling it to a mate a lorry hit it all down one side wrote it off...I said I would ring him in a couple of wks & drive round to give him chance to find pics...also gave him details for here & facebook page.

Have you thought of organising a gathering of vans like yours at an appropriate location such as CT16 1HU?
Took me a minute! Not a bad idea
Was excited at the thought of taking the bludbird to pendine...but the thrust bearing gave up the ghost!
Well its been a busy few months for me doing work trials to secure my new position but I got there in thd end!
Went in the back for something as expected batteries were flat!
Got ins renewal just wondering what thoughts are on value?
Not looking at selling.
I think it might be slightly low at moment I may increase value next yr (its due tomorrow)
