2nd June Gareth's Motorhome

Gareth turned up tonight at Bellview with JUL 1E and questioned me about the necessity of making a huge hole in the gable wall. Then, rather disconcertedly, sat with JUL 1E in The Range Rover with the engine running for 45 minutes (was that for climate control)? I felt obliged to continue working rather than lighting a fire with some more remains of the kitchen, in what is eventually to be, by all accounts his study.

It's a known fact that Gareth doesn't approve of breaks or holidays. But last weekend they went away in the campervan. Campervan doesn't really begin to describe this latest acquisition, as the driver requires an HGV licence. I'm told this vehicle is about the size of a coach, complete with fitted bathroom, plasma screen etc...Anyway, "G" wasn't that keen on driving to Pitlochry. When they finally manoeuvered the pantechnicon onto the site, put down the hydraulic stabilisers, like a JCB, the thing was so heavy the feet just sank into the soft ground. The rest of the weekend was spent trying to extricate the decidedly immobile home.
