This is our table. It is old We got it from an auction in Orkney for GBP10.00. We had a few small new camping tables. They are long gone. Couldnt handle the lifestyle. This table is brilliant. When we put it away inside the truck it becomes a wall. Sometimes it is a prep table but most of the time we surround it with chairs and eat around it. Take my advice dont buy cheap tables. If you are doing this as a lifestyle. Find a sturdy old table that collapses (or you can make into a collapsing table). We have some people that are happy with the expensive ones you buy from caravan shops but dont buy one of the cheap camping tables unless you plan to replace it in less than a month!
When I saw it I thought ‘It couldn’t be’. As we all gazed at in confusion it all became clear. Yes, this was a HUGE vending machine where you can buy large waters, chocolate multi-packs and other things you find at a store a. This was the second time in my life that I went absolutely crazy about a vending machine. I know, pathetik isn’t it. It’s just one of those new technology devises that I just haven’t managed to fully get used to.
So as me, Sam, Abi and Mum gazed at the vending machine in absolute amazement as the oreos got pulled off the self and taken to the other side, these feelings of it all being ridiculous was running through my head.
Try to imagen the tension we were all feeling as you watch our ‘home movie’.

I had a great day in Barcelona with Sam, Liz and Abi. We played tourists. We enjoyed some of Gaudi’s architecture and to see how they are coming along on the Sagrada Familia. An amazing surprise was the Picasso museum. We got to walk through his life. They had artwork and sketchbooks and described his influences. Suggesting reasons for the changes in his artwork in each stage. Who were his friends, where he lived, who or what was training him. It was great. We spent hours in there. I think Liz could have stayed longer. It is rare to be able to enter into an artists life in this way.
We liked all the scooters
We got a fruit smoothie from this shop. It was completely decorated in little pieces of plastic fruit. Brilliant
A rare experience of going to a restaurant. We all got Tapas. Samurl went for a pizza bread that came on a special tray and a clever. 
Elizabeth especially liked this piece of graffitti.
Some memories from Lisbon, Portugal
