The word for 11.01.2010 is TRAVEL.

I was unable to post yesterday, (Sunday) as l was fighting an awful headache, which just would not go! Anyway, l am better today and back on the case.
Today's word is TRAVEL. I thought about showing people in a travel agents or maybe people on buses or trains or maybe a BA or Virgin plane flying over Putney or East Sheen, something on those lines anyway. As l was walking down Wildcroft Rd, l noticed an old dorma van packed on the side of the road. The reason l noticed it was because my parents had one when l was a child, ours was green as this one was light blue. Funny, l hadn't thought about that van for years. My father converted the van into a dorma caravan to sleep 4, with cooking facilities and a porta loo, l seem to remember! The roof was cut away and my father fitted a collapsable roof in it's place and that is where my sister and l slept!
Anyway, as l was looking at the van and reminiscing, l noticed stickers of every-where they had travelled in this wonderful machine, on the left handside of the van. And so l had my image for travel and a lot of memeries as well, free of charge!!
