Well She's arrived. 9 o'clock last night Clementine drove into our drive and she is perfect! We got in, we got out, we lifted lids, flicked on lights, lay on beds and sat and smiled!
The kids had to wait till tonight for their go and they were beside themselves with excitement by the time they got home. They chose their seats, tried all the beds, summoned their best friends and squabbled about when we can sleep in her.
Our only problem is we have commitments for the next three weekends. Boo!! Next post will hopefully be the first beach.

Introductions and Anticipations
The first entry of our Blog. We are Jo (the mum), Stu (the dad), Emily(7), Alex(5) and Alana(2). Wednesday is a very exciting day for us, as we have finally, after 6 years, bid on and won a VW Viking campervan - and Wednesday is the day we take the 400 mile round trip to collect her.
So here begins our adventures with Clementine and our first challenge? 25 beaches in a year! The first thing to do is sort out breakdown cover as she is 30 years old and so can't be blamed for the odd hiccup and then we'll be off.
This blog will share the highs and lows of our campervan dream and also share any practical advice we learn along our way not to mention a first hand family review of 25 beaches.
