homecoming

she's here, at last - Talulah hath arrived! :D

look!

gawd, but saturday was a loooong-ass day! 

it started at 6am.  we had to get the bus to derby, catch a train to st pancras in london, a taxi to fenchurch street station in same, a train to stanford le hope, then richard (the lovely guy who sold Talulah to us) came to pick us up and take us to our new baby. 

then we spent a couple of hours alternately cooing over her loveliness, and loading her up for the journey to her new home.

yup, loading her up.

she came with a spare engine.  and sundry other spares that are, frankly, almost enough to half-build another camper.  result! :)

it took us four hours to drive home.  we made it at about 7:30pm.  then we had to get everything back out of Talulah, and up the stairs into the spare room.  hubby had to carry the engine block up on his own! \'o'/

but she's home, now, and soooooo shiny! (as you can see from the pic).

i would talk about the delightful day we spent at some friends' house yesterday, but the internet and my laptop have been playing silly buggers tonight, and it's nearly bedtime.  sometime soon, i'm gonna have to do a long catch-up post.

but not tonight.  so i'll leave you with a pic of richard and Talulah.  oh, and some strange woman who snuck into the pic and grinned like an idiot.  no idea who she is, but we only just managed to patch up the crack in the camera lens...
