Definately is.... I used to live in Chester for 15 years so know the area well.
The wife is taking three friends out to an outdoor theatre production using our Cali beforehand to host a mini Birthday party. She's cooked loads of nice food, decorated the van and generally made a massive effort (she's also picking up and dropping off all the friends).
I'm looking after the kids; currently cooking fresh pizzas (making the dough, etc).
Fingers crossed all goes well!!

Slightly off topic but how do you make your dough @Polzeylad??? I bought a pizza oven over summer but haven't got a tried and tested simple dough recipe!!!!
I cheated in the end and used our bread maker but often make it by hand.
The flour is critical; as fine as possible. A teaspoon of salt, a tablespoon of olive oil and less water than you'd think.
Don't forget good pizziola sauce too not just tomatoes; brown garlic in hot olive oil (add when oil is still cold), oregano, chuck a tin of chopped toms in, stand back as it spits at you, stir on a high heat until "glossy" for 5-10 mins, chuck in a blender, give is a blast. Makes a big difference!

I've just had dinner but this is making me hungry!
Took mine to show off to my dad for the first time today; I was there for half an hour before his partner turned up and half hour later my sister turned up (each insisted on having "the complete tour") - its like having a new baby in the family lol
Taking mine to Coastguard training today near Bude. Will try and get some pics of us crazy "blue boiler suit" guys with the van if I get the chance.
Watch out, they will have you providing refreshments all day, oh and be careful on those cliffs.
No pics but went over the edge which was fun!
Only had to make tea for four which was fine.
JK put an artistic shot on facebook.
Only went to work. I was a bit nervous about driving home in the dark as I don't have LED's but surprisingly I could see the road. Not sure if I have H4 or H7 but they seem to work
Ha ha! Post of the day!
Drove from Noirmoutier en l'ile to Guildford. Only an hours delay at the tunnel which was a nice surprise then a short hour to Surrey. Lost two hours in all today with the clocks going back so not sure if I am knackered or elated at the way the T6 handled the French motorways; an absolute joy to drive despite the 28 miles to the gallon over 11 hours. So pleased I finally bit the bullet!
Big drive! I went to school in Guildford (RGS) before moving to Cornwall.
