Perambulation in the Shortcrust world is via an elderly vehicle which defies the laws of mechanics. A Volkswagen Split Screen van that goes by the name of Sunny on account of his primrose yellow paintwork.
Tall Man fettles with the oily bits while Ziggy Shortcrust keeps the bud vase replenished with herbs and lavishes the interior with cushions, throws and vintage foofyness.
Keeping constant vigil in the rear are Hurley and Little Dude, “TheTouring Teds” who collect and display on their woolly jumpers, badges to remind all of the places visited.
From time to time Sunny and his adventures will make appearences on the blog. You can see some of them here.
Travel in a campervan is not to be hurried. Always depart hours before you think you should. Allow time to pause for a brew. Let the rest of the world overtake you and enjoy making people smile as you tootle on by.

I am supremely envious of you having a campervan..heaven on wheels!
On a warm summers day Sunny is indeed heaven. In winter….hellish. But he’s all I’ve got and I love him.
Tootles is GORGEOUS! You just have to learn how to crochet, if for nothing else, than to embellish his interior. My mind is boggling with potential ideas. 🙂
Aw Thank you Michelle. I’m afraid my hand/ eye co-ordination only extends as far as drawing. Twidddling yarns around my fingers is a step too far.
What a joy and I love that green! My imagination is running wild with the potential for adventure in this cool ride. Happy Travels!
A campervan always seems to say “its gonna be so much fun on the road with me”? Sunny certainly is fun 😉 Thanks for stopping by Laura.
That seems to reflect the division of labour in our van too! Sunny looks like a beautiful machine. Rather than badges on teds we remember our perambulations with the aid of postcards which are rapidlt starting to cover most of Archie’s interior
Oh, what a fantastic idea. You’ll have to post up some piccies.
Love Hurley and Little Dude! I also have two furry companions of the teddy bear persuasion. Their names are PJ Bear and Frankie Bear. They love to watch The Princess Bride

That is a brilliant photo. They even have their own duvet.
What an excellent notion- to depart hours before you think you should.. and so then you have time to explore! Brilliant!
It gives you time to explore but, as Sunny never goes faster than 50 miles an hour, and it’s best to travel via the B roads, you need that extra time.
You are so lucky to have a splity by the name of Sunny- So cool. My sister has a blue bay that goes by the name Humphrey, of which I have spent many a happy hour tootling about in! Although you tend to get on first name terms with the local mechanic…:)
Humphrey is a wonderful name for a blue bay bus. And yes, holidays and mechanics seem to go hand in hand.
traveling around with your campervan must be … yes tootle… tootle doodledii dooo 😀
You’ve nailed campervan living right there. 🙂
yes i have 🙂
