🚐✨ The carriage awaits…

This evening, the Combo Life was on chauffeur duty for a very special occasion — my wife’s birthday. We celebrated in true style at Alev restaurant, with incredible food, atmosphere, and company.

The Road Less Ordinary isn’t just about where you travel — it’s about who you share the journey with. 🥂

🏕️ Wind, Rain and Our First Camp
Our first proper outing in the van wasn’t perfect — storms, a bent umbrella, a gouged bumper — but those are the kinds of stories we’ll remember. Memories made, lessons learned, and a start to The Road Less Ordinary.

First camp in the Combo, storm and all: Movelite awning tested, tea and a ghost story while the family slept, Blackpool laughs, and one very naughty car park. Memories made, lessons learnt...

The gentleman’s van is back from the doctor. 🛠️✨
That nasty gouge down the side? Gone. Spotless, like it was never there. Huge thanks to Top Coat in Warrington for first-class work — back on the road, back in style, ready for the next adventure.

Sometimes even the toughest need a little care.

Even a gentleman’s van needs a visit to the doctor now and then. Off for its bodywork today, with all the little scratches being touched up too. Looking forward to seeing it back on the road, sharper than ever. 🚐✨ Big thanks Top Coat Warrington for taking care of it — always in good hands!

We started at Elif Lark Lane. Plates full, then out into Lark Lane and Sefton Park — busy with autumn crowds, leaves falling all the same.
The van waiting nearby. A good day.

Note to self: always bring cleaning stuff for dog poo. My son nearly carried half the park into the van.

The blog will follow soon. For now, just a glimpse.
