Blogtoberfest – Stack it up!

October 6, 2012 by Nanny 2 Comments

Hi!  One thing you have to consider in the Motorhome is SPACE. ( One must have space for the essentials like crafting!!)
I have decided that it’s time to do some ‘sorting’ and rearranging.  Take a look at this shelf – large plates, bread and butter plates, cereal bowls and noodle bowls BUT look at all of that wasted space!  Yes, that is non-slip stuff you can see – the big difference when you change from a caravan, is that now you can HEAR what all those bumps in the road do to your belongings and believe me, it can get quite distracting!  It has been my ‘job’ to quieten things down and I think I have done a fine job!  😉

Anyway, back to the shelf……
I’ve been looking for a plate rack for quite a while now and decided it was time to ‘make one fit’!  So off I went to Big W and found myself a plate stacker that of course we couldn’t even get into the cupboard – curved doors and hinges don’t help! 
There was nothing else to do but take out the shelf and manouver a bit but it still wouldn’t fit so I employed Poppy to make the necessary adjustments ie cut the legs off the #@%$ thing and taa daa – we now have all of the plates stacked and still have half a shelf left.  (I’ll get more craft space yet!!!!)

I can’t wait to get on the road to see how it will travel.  Notice I tidied the non slip up as well?  Looks much better!
Maybe I can fit the mugs and stuff up there as well – mmmm, I’ll think on that a bit!

How are you at saving space?  Have you been doing any sorting lately?

Until next time
Nanny xx

Let’s Go!

May 26, 2012 by Nanny 3 Comments

I thought it was time that I shared with you my ‘other’ love – Motorhoming!

Let me introduce our ‘home away from home’ – our A’van Ovation or as the grandchildren say, Poppy’s truck!

The sign says it all ‘Proudly Australian’.

Let me take you inside:
This is taken from the front – you can see the bed on the right and the bathroom on the left.  You can see right into the shower which is separated from the rest of the bathroom by a retractable screen door. You can also see the aircon and the main hatch over the kitchen area.  At the foot of the bed is our  fridge/freezer and above that is the microwave and sound system. On the left you can see the top of the oven and above it the sink. In front of the kitchen area is the double seat which also have seat belts. The grey on the bottom right is the entry.

This one is taken from the back towards the front.  The blinds are around the windscreen and the seats are rotated to face the table. At the top you will see the skylight windows – the blinds are drawn here as well, but this is one of my favourite features especially on a star filled night!
On the other side of the entry is another double seat, facing the table and both of these seats and the table convert to another double bed. The grandchildren haven’t worked this out yet!

We both love our home on wheels – it’s like having a cubbyhouse!
We have had a history of camping – first the tent, then the unfold camper trailer, then the pop-top caravan which we had to sell because I couldn’t travel.

Some people think that if you have a motorhome it’s because you are ‘up yourself’ or that you have a lot of money.  Neither description could be further from the truth for us.   Circumstances have brought us to this point – we took a huge risk –  and we are grateful and give thanks for our good fortune.

Every time we set off, we can’t keep the smiles from spreading all over our faces – like two big kids who have been let loose in the cookie jar!!

I hope you will allow me to share some of the cookies with you!  Where would you like to go?

Until next time
Nanny xx
