Floyd on Campers

We've got a name and we've got a winner....

well done to Heather Bellis who was lucky number 13 picked by the lovely folk over at Inspired Camping.  Although Heather didn't suggest the name we decided on, she did put forward the name of Mary Berry, which was enough to get her entered into our draw...

We considered all the names, I personally liked Mrs Beeton alot but Dan suggested that would be better suited to an older camper maybe a splittie.  The one that made us chuckle was 'Swedish' after the swedish chef in the muppets, very clever.

After some debate we opted for Floyd, which seems perfect for our camper.  Keith Floyd was regarded as a pioneer in taking cookery out of the studio & he travelled far and wide for his shows.  We are thinking wine coloured upholstery and some quirky curtains.  He will be the perfect camper to park up on a beautiful campsite and sit back and enjoy a cheeky bottle of vino.

Cheers

On the facebook page, people have often said why they've chosen that one, so may be worth having a look.

Quite a list much for us to consider....I'm thinking I should of done this when naming each of our kids as it would of definitely helped!

There is still time to add some more names to the list so if you haven't entered, what you waiting for? and if you can keep telling your friends, family, the lady at the bus stop...we'd really appreciate.

I have been using our new camper as my daily run around, as I don't have my own car to use, and it's always good to get to know your camper before it starts its working life out on hire.  I'm happy to report all good, it drives really well.  Dan's going to give it a bit of a tune up this weekend, and we can then decide what to add to the inside to make it into a Custard Camper.

Sunday Inspiration

The sun is shining, there are no workmen in our house (for the first day in ages!) and we're off to collect our new camper in awhile...happy days.  While sitting here drinking tea and browsing facebook I stumbled on the following inspiring quote by Poppy Sparkles

It struck me that this is probably a good way to approach most things in life.  It is certainly the way I started up Custard Campers, in an ideal world I would of have had more start up capital, premises, knowledge and a marketing budget but in reality I scrapped the money together to buy Delia, by taking a personal loan and selling my own car, and then just started.
