Summer Holiday has begun 2015 part 1

About 3 months since my last Blog post - here is why!

Time has been flying by at work, its been a busy and at the same time we have had many changes to deal with at home, we had to move out very quickly from our house due to water damage in the bathroom - we found a water leek in the bathroom that had been there for sometime, so we needed to stop the leek and that meant smashing the wall down in our only bathroom, so soon as this was done we had to move out, so we lived for a week at our in-laws and mean looked for a place to live more permanently while the house gets fixed over the next months.
It was at this same time that we had booked a holiday and so we were soon escaping the chaos for a well earned holiday in the sun, luckily for us we found an apartment to rent just before we left Dubai - so the day before we left we were moving a few things into our new place in Enköping town, next to the library, cinema and town square - Perfect !

After the water damage had been found there was nothing for it then to get going on removing the bathroom floor and surrounding floor and walls, to start the long drying out process, the builders estimate around 4-6 months. So we found a place to rent and very quickly moved most of our daily belongings to it, a hassle but we just felt lucky that we found somewhere to go to while the work gets under way.

our new apartment - 2 floors

big hole in the kitchen floor !

Then we were off - a week in Dubai, to relax! it was fantastic and the service was 5 star

Room with a view - Atlantis Palm hotel - out of this world good

while we were there we went time on jet skis, dune bashing in 4x4 in the desert, camel riding in the dark? and spent many days in the water park on the palm, it was amazing! The room, food and service at the palm Atlantis hotel was amazing!

With all that going on its hard to find the time to move on with the bus, but I have found a few sacred hours here and there during the weeks -An hour or two to pop over to the garage and restore the karma in the soul.

I managed to get the bus back on the tip girl, but not for long as it was not at all perfect and so I needed to get the bus down again and re set how it was attached to the frame, now it is all correct and feels much easier to rotate.
