[splitmike]

Ahh managed to get the van out on Dartmoor yesterday just long enough to make the first cup of coffee. Loved it!!!

No bungeestrap....!
Watch out for not damaging the canvas
Nice Cali!

 

[SimplyDubs]

Nice one... excellent place to stop for a quick cuppa.

Don't worry overly...

 

[larrylamb]

[GrannyJen]

[splitmike]

I'll save the champagne until I got sombody to share it with.
Candidates are welcome to apply by post card.lol

 

[splitmike]

I'll look into the bungee thing in time. But I'll be careful for now.
Famous last words!

As an Officier in the Confrerie du Sabre D'or then I really must apply

 

[splitmike]

Well Jen as the first to reply it would only be gentlemanly of me to accept your request.
Ooh and my vintage table cloth arrived today too.. Pics to follow.

The bungee is the braces to go with the belt.

Having survived 200+ lowering's I thought I had no need of it.

A windy morning in Cruden bay. A gust of wind. A "whoops I had better check " response by myself ... there was the bellows just on the point of being nipped by the scissors. Hsad it not been for the bungee it would have not been a score draw ... but an own goal ****


**** Granny footballing note: Whilst thinking most footballers are overpaid, whingeing winnies I am a Chelsea fan and an even more a fan of that rather nice Mr Maureen

 

[splitmike]

Ha ha ha
I will take that as the ultimate word of warning.
Bungee will be ordered this weekend

I'm not one for football more a Rugby kind of man

Great stuff Mike, my transit plates are expired and Klaus in dry dock now, so just waiting for DVLA to do their bit

 

[splitmike]

Don't tell anybody but mine are too.....shhhh !

I just needed to take it for a drive.

 

[splitmike]

If they hadn't closed all the local offices it would have been by now.

Yeah, too true

That's brilliant Mike you are one up on us. Our first Cuppa was in the garage to test the gas system out.
Nice pic too, we love Dartmoor.

 

[splitmike]

I'm very lucky it's only 5 mins from my home.

Hope you get to take yours out soon.

Bungee is not a perfect solution. I have one and still need to be careful.

Aaaa coffee!!! last week was my first proper one with my Cali, and was sooooo nice have a good cortado (very similar to the machiatto) in the middle of nowhere!!

BTW, I'm using Aeropress and a small battery operated frother to get some foam... you?

 

[splitmike]

Ahh that was just a Nescafé azerra instant day. In future I'll pack the press normally have a battery whisk to make a little froth. The Nescafé instant latte are great though.

We always drink tea, and always use a pot. I wonder if there's a collapsible tea pot to go with every other collapsible product on the market these days? It will be collapsible plates next

 

[splitmike]

I must admit to a good cup of tea. And brewed in a pot too.
I've seen collapsible coffee jugs so that might work.

You really must learn to "double use" to cut down on carrying too much stuff Linda. You should use your bobble-hat instead.
