After working hard in the garden I thought it would be good to take a short drive up the coast in the late afternoon to sit by the sea and have a cuppa. Parked in Walcott and watched the quite big waves whilst we sat round the table inside the van. A good flock of oyster catchers seemed happy to be on the pavement nearby.

One reason for the drive out was to get a feel for the new van and work out what we wish to do to it. Added to the list is to remove the weird slightly purpley shading from the rear glass so we can actually see out properly. With a bit of luck it will peel off with help from a hair drier. 

The wonderful 80-90 group has come up trumps with a set of standard front springs although they are in Birmingham. No huge rush but an 80-90 Express service should get them a bit nearer in the next week or two and then I'll probably get Repps Garage to swap them over. Hopefully that will soften the suspension a bit as many of our minor roads round here are very bumpy.
