MOT Time

I have my MOT coming up this month fingers crossed that things will be OK I, have checked things like lights tyres handbrake and had a look underneath things look OK only time will tell. After all the van is eighteen years old now I do have all the service history and all receipts for any work carried out on the van over the years so overall reasonably confident shes in good order. The last two Mot,s since my ownership had no advisers attached which was great as the only layout was the MOT its self if all goes well I might treat the van to a full service including heater plugs, oil, and filter, cooling system charging system.
In all honesty, i have not put that many miles on the clock as most of you that follow my blog will know I like to stay long-term in the places I visit and like. I really don't see the point in running up and down the country like a chicken with no head, travelling is like a good whiskey the more you Savior it the more you appreciate it. The weather down south this year in comparison to last year has been diabolical so not sure what I will be doing or where I will be going yet. As usual, the plan is no plan and that's just how I like my life. At the time of writing, this am on Bodmin moor sat in the van with something like forty miles an hour winds knocking the hell out of me.
 I have now spent the last five days on and around the moors and really enjoyed the peace and solitude that you can experience being on such a large expanse of land it also gives me a great feeling of freedom and fulfilment.This life style is most definitely not suited to everybody and i would say to you if you are thinking of living the van life get some real experience in by staying in a van/motorhome full time close to where you live.I my self did this for fourteen months in total and did not cut any corners i only went to the house when i needed to start finalise things and do research on the computer everything else was done in the van and i mean everything.
This allowed me to get the feeling of living in such a minimal space and work out how to utilise the  storage also so the what ifs? what if that doesn't suit me can i change It can i move it can i get rid of it and what do i replace it with. All of this can add up to a big headache or put you off before you even start.
You must be able to cope with solitude,i love loneliness and cope very well with it can you? the adventure of the nomadic life and living simply without all the must have items around you is a adventure within its self.
A new life style can be just around the corner if you are brave enough to go for it.
