Quirky Campervan

It's been quiet in Quirky Tales land, partly because I've had a sore throat, but mostly because the search for a motorhome intensified with the start of the new year. With the lengthening days and the promise of warmer weather hopefully just weeks away, I have to admit a degree of panic set in. We clocked up many miles driving from dealer to dealer in the increasingly forlorn hope that a suitable van might be waiting for us, but each time returned home dispirited. It was looking as though we might never find what we were looking for, but then a chance call at Marquis at Newbury turned up a diamond.

Yes, we've done it! We've finally found our van. We pick it up next month once all the admin is in place and Marquis have given it a full service etc. This has prompted even more frenetic activity as we hunt out all our old camping kit, replace what the mice have eaten or that simply cannot be found, and scour the internet for information on our beautiful new (to us) van.

All of this is by way of an apology for my despicable absence from the blog. I've been somewhat distracted. To celebrate our acquisition I've set a free promotion for all my books for this Sunday, 1st February. Happily, that coincides with the end of dry-January. Sunday could be a good day.
