With a day to spare, I finally achieved my long held goal of publishing a book and just before New Years Eve 2022, it was officially released for purchase! Thanks to everyone who has already ordered a copy or sent a message of congratulations. 'The Van Bivi Logbook' is a series of true (if slightly unbelievable!), tales from our travels in a Ford Escort Van. Hopefully they give a little taste of our adventures and a feeling of what it was like living life on the road. It was certainly a lot of fun to write and looking back over all the antics, with various friends and across multiple countries gave light to some happy memories.
In terms of current travels, we left Athens a few days ago on a sunrise flight. The meetings that I was returning for had recently been cancelled, so we took the opportunity to embark on some family visits during the 'bonus' free time. Twelve hours of travel later, having woken in Athen, Greece, flown to Manchester, then driven south, we were welcomed into Surrey, England.
Good catch ups, over endless cups of tea, great food, a bit of a jam on guitars and it was all too soon, time to move on. On the way back to Wales, we even stopped off for my first official 'book signing'!
A final night at Fort Martin to break up the journey saw us back in our own bed for the first time in over three weeks last night! It's been a splendid adventure and with plenty of family socials either side of the festive period.
If you're curious enough to find out what a 'Van Bivi' is then you can order a copy by clicking HERE.
As it says on the back of the book, it's part documentation, part motivation and part inspiration to keep the spirit of adventure alive. I hope you enjoy - please leave a review on Amazon if you like it!
