Me 'ittle Caravan

and it is little. Smaller in length than our Peugeot 206. Not high enough to stand up in (although it does have an extendable roof that must be shut when it rains).
We're going away soon to start our touring in the caravan. We don't go too far and we don't stay too long, usually just weekends. The caravan is very small, but made bigger by its awning. I do feel it is a little unfair that we have to pay full price for a pitch cos most tents are even bigger than our freedom microlite caravan.

This was taken one glorious holiday at Lucksall near Symonds Yat. We had a spot right by the river. Hmmmmmm day dreaming

Any way we keep umming and arghhing about selling it, but we went to visit it to blow away the winter cobwebs and I fell in Love with it yet again. I have decided to revamp him and give him a fresh breeze of discovery. I'm thinking sunshine, I'm thinking outdoors-in, I'm thinking fresh green and airiness.
So to go with these words I have made a digital mood board for inspiration


If there's anybody out there who might be able to help inspire me with projects or ideas to get my ittle caravan a new bright sunshiny way of life, please let me know your finds and treasures. I need storage ideas ways of pretting it up and making it light and open.
We're going in the week to fix a broken part and I'll take photo's to show the present situation of my pink, dark, closed ininterior.
Time for tea and cake, can't show you these ones cos they are definetly my cupcake choice for the wedding. Oh and I had disaster on the fruit cake front, but never fear I shall win the war if not this battle. My own stupid fault really, usual trick of not reading the instructions properly, I just can't help myself from rushing in.

just wanted to let you know that I came upon your blog by doing a google search looking for parts for my little travel trailer. There are only about 100 of these little trailers in Canada and they are all around about 1975 vintage.
My trailer is identical to your "ittle caravan" as you call it. I was wondering if you tell me what year yours is, and if you can get parts in the UK for it and if you could infact post those other photos that you were mentioning. Maybe you did, I just noticed that this is a May 2008 post, so maybe I will go back to your blog and look some more. Very excited to see the awning too, Thanks for the look.
