oh dear

I want to put these tiles in the caravan.

I have gone a bit flamingo-ey with the caravan - putting real vintage flamingo paper in the cupboard and a Cole and Son print on the door.


I don't seem to have posted on here for ages. It has been busy though - with a diddyvan with a specially customised roofrack (see above) making it's way to Guernsey, Another one has gone to Whitstable to become a holiday hire. I hope it will enjoy the oyster festival. It leaves us with one little Woody trailer to sell whilst Nige gets on with making lots more Diddyvans - although first he is completing our 60's Sprite400 caravan - it has been restored back to it's regular seating pattern - the bench seats had gone, replaced by a bed which meant it really wasn't as versatile. New bright red lino has been fitted and I will be getting busy with cushions shortly. Can't wait to get it back all done.

the website is now updated with some new photos though it would be great to find a website designer who wants to help us out a bit - we are so busy building and sourcing retro parts that it takes all our time - we are getting so much interest from people so thanks to everyone for that - and to our French following since our time at the hotrod supernationals. A petit diddyvan is going to be going overseas soon.

We had a great time at santa pod and couldnt stop the Girls N dubs crew from having a rest in the teardrop. We arrived home to find that the Sunday Mirror had featured an article on retro caravans and that our website was named as one where you could buy a teardrop trailer - so many people had looked at the site that it temporarily crashed - apologies there but it is back and running now.
Thanks to Chris and Jane from "my cool caravan" for writing their book in the first place as this was the article and to the Sunday Mirror for putting our website link in.

new pic

I have been playing about with the flickr picnik editing tools - i just love them. i hope i have managed to make this picture very retro in it's feel.
we are trying to figure out how to increase our profile in the mysterious almost masonic world that is "search engine optimisation". Many have fallen by the wayside it appears and everyone we talk to has different suggestions - some more to add to the (possible) myths and/or realities are welcome please! thanks
