Well m’dears wait till you hear about the week I’ve had. Such times!
Sorry, I am rushing away with myself in all the excitement.
Let me introduce myself. My name is Buttercup and I am a Peugot Boxer Autosleeper…..Executive….. motorhome. I admit that I am a bit long in the tooth,
13 years old to be precise but there is still life in the old girl yet and I am raring to go.
Last week I weas sitting in the forecourt of Mills Garages in Duns with a price on my head. The embarrassment was awful, especially as I had this knock down price stuck on my windscreen while all the other sprightly young things were boasting about just how much they were worth.
Anyway, there I was feeling a bit down but trying to look my best when this trickle of people started to come and look me over. I couldn’t get a sense of them at first because they came in dribs and drabs and one lot came when the garage was closed and peered in my windows.
I wasn’t at all sure what to make of it all but to cut a long story short…..well quite a short story really….. I’ve got new  owners !!!   Like me they have got a good few miles on the clock… less Famous Five and  more Saga Six…but again like me they are ready for new adventures on the road.
I have met them all now and they seem like good sorts. Whats more important, they really seem to like me. I have had nothing but compliments all week and one of them even said that just seeing me on her drive gave her a warm fuzzy feeling !!
And the plans !!!! Just when I thought my travelling days were numbered there is talk of the Scottish Highlands, being a sherpa to two women walking Offa’s Dyke and even mention of Italy and following the Tour de France.
I can't believe my luck. Just as I thought I was being written off as too old for fun, here we all go again.
I hear that they intend to write about their travels in a blog.
Its called Buttercup’s Blog  so, without wanting to be pushy, I thought I would write the first entry.
Linda and Paul, Julie and Sue and Liz and Ricky will all be writing their own entries onto my blog ….BUT IT IS MY BLOG…. Better sign off now in case I am starting to sound like the computer in 2001 Space Odyssey but what a week I’ve had, m’dears, what a week.
