I have been contacted by a nice fellow asking me for help. Unfortunately I was not in a position to help him directly but thought if I asked you guys for help we may be able to point him in the right direction.
Shane is a journalist for a leading on line news publication called International Business News.
Shane is looking to interview someone who is currently beating the housing crisis by living in a motor-home in and around the London area, (but I guess will settle for further a field).
You can email Shane at s.croucher@ibtimes.co.uk
If your wanting to let the world know how you decided that living in a campervan was your best course of action then please get in touch with him.

Carbon Monoxide - A Silent Killer!
I think we all need a reminder about the effects of Carbon Monoxide.
It is a silent killer, here in the UK it is reported that nearly half of us have a Carbon Monoxide Alarm fitted in our house. Yet, we do not apply this to our tents, caravans or campervans with as little as just 13% of us choosing to fit one!
We bought one over a year ago now, and also have fire extinguishers, fire blankets and smoke detectors.
If you think about it logically, carbon monoxide poisoning is more likely to take place whilst away in your tent/campervan/caravan.
Less ventilation, cooking in an enclosed environment! We are asking for trouble, so please, take a look at this link - Carbon Monoxide - A Silent Killer - then buy one!
Less than £15.00 gives you peace of mind and possibly could save yours or your loved ones lives!
We hear every year of tragic events, and what makes it worse is that they are totally avoidable. So please take a look at the link, and if you see anyone out there doing something daft, step in and say something. Even if you do get a mouthful!

Life Goes On!
As usual it's been a while since I last blogged, enjoying life too much at the moment, there is always something to do other than sit down with a laptop for an hour or so!
So today I find myself sat in our conservatory, yes it's finished, (apart from painting the skirting boards)! waiting for 2 tonnes of shingle to arrive to finish off the patio area we are having built at the moment.
The house is nearly done, we have done quite a bit in the year that we have been here. We have kept costs to the minimum as this is not our "forever" house. But, it's all looking good.
Wedding plans are gathering speed, March 2016 will soon be here and once more we are keeping costs to a minimum.
I'm still on the buses, but for how much longer is anyone's guess.
I've managed a trip away on "Lucille" my trusty Honda C90 - I went to North Wales for a few days camping on my own. I stayed at a camp site called Riverside Camping which is just a mile from Caernarfon heading towards the Llanberis Pass. I was last here with my parents when just a young lad!
I got back late Thursday night, riding 312 miles in 13 hrs and it poured with rain all day! I spent the day Friday drying and sorting things out then on Saturday we headed to my old Army mate's Mark's house for his daughters 18th birthday that evening up in the Wirral (Liverpool)
It was great to catch up!
We took the VW T25 Camper Van with us as we needed somewhere to sleep on the Saturday night and then we headed to the Lake District and camped on Coniston Lake. Six steps front the door of the camper and my feet would of been wet.
The name of the site was Pier Cottage - highly recommended, a little pricey but worth the money for the location.
Coniston is a just a little village but it does have a few pubs with some great food on offer and all within a 10 minute walk of the camp site.
The Lake district is one of those places which I have often travelled through but never actually spent much time in. This will now change as we found the area enchanting.
I've missed loads out of all our going's on, I would still be writing in a weeks time if I included everything.
It's still great to read through some of the comments, to see that there are folk out there living their lives the way they want to and not how society believe we should do. Keep it up folks.
Of and don't forget if you want to see what we are up to on a more regular basis you can get me on Facebook, the link to my page is to the right of this! But please send me a message telling me something about yourself. I get the odd friend request and I have no idea if you are friend or spam. So if I have not replied I've got you down as spam. So say hello so I know your real.
Well, for the regulars out there, I hope all is well in your worlds, and so my journey continues as I hope does yours.
