JUNIPER THE WONDER BUS

We bought Juniper as a school bus. She was filled with banana skins and peanuts. Not one piece of chewing gum under the seats! How bizarre. I had her all figured out in my mind. In hindsight, a shower would have been great but my claustrophobia would never have allowed me to be in a small space with the door closed. I had a few must haves. Number 1, a king sized bed. Holly and Rufus sleep with us and Pete hates them touching him. A king sized bed gives plenty of room for them to snuggle with me and gives him plenty of space on his side of the bed. Number 2, I needed an air conditioner. I am so sensitive to heat and cold. Number 3, I needed power for the Thermomix. Oh and the most important thing, I needed a composting toilet. I hate going to a public toilet. I would only poop in a public toilet if it was an emergency. I love her so much and can’t believe we own her. She will take us on many adventures in the years ahead. She spells freedom to me.

THE DAY THE SELLER DELIVERED HER TO US.

THE DAY PETE SAW HER ARRIVE. HE WAS DROWNING IN HOUSE RENOVATIONS STILL. I CALL THIS THE OH SHIT MOMENT.

I SAW THAT LOOK A LOT WHEN I HAD ANOTHER IDEA TO SHARE.

ALL PACKED UP FOR HER FIRST BIG TRIP.
