Wondering what we have been doing with ourselves lately? We, or I, have been spending quite some time preparing to get the new vehicle, Tilly, ready for towing, the trailer brakes have been wired, Power to the trailer socket has been provided, I have built a box arrangement for the tray […]

Things are now coming together with “Tilly Truck’, with the trailer socket and brakes having been wired. I have built a box arrangement for the rear tray compartment to maximise storage space and can’t believe how well it turned out. It was difficult to come up with precise measurements for the […]

I can’t remember the last time we were so busy. The container is empty, and even gone to its new owner. This doesn’t mean it’s all over though, as we still have some things we want to take to Melbourne to store that have yet to be packed.
