Again, more delays due to poor weather, together with a desire to make the next trip to B&Q on a Saturday so I could take advantage of a money-off offer, have delayed work on the van. Today, however, the timber is in hand for the kitchen-side of the van, the stove dimensions are written down and while there wasn't time to launch into anything major, there was definitely time to get the final bits done on the bench seat.
With Charlie's help (or at least company!) the interior divisions have gone in - only hardboard but enough to stop everything sliding merrily over long distances every time I brake or corner - and the ply seat is hinged on and secure. There's enough room at the rear to put a jerrycan tidily out of the way - either the 10L green water can or one of the 10L red diesel cans - and tomorrow's plans involve a trip into Aberdeen in search of memory foam to make the cushions, a big roll of bubblewrap to start insulating the roof and Charlie's first mid-distance car ride. The poor pup so far has done Lincolnshire to Aberdeen (breeder to home) and the 15 minute run to the vet for his jabs - he had one trip in the van to Aberdeen so now it's time to get the car seat harness out and take him on a day-trip to the shops.
