Malibu Molly

Today, the first job was to roll out the awning to get it dried in the sun. After days of iffy weather and rain it was sunny for the first time today. Today's irritation was how to get the awning winding handle out of the winding mechanism.  On the Fiamma awnings we have had on the the other vans, the winder has a hook at the end that goes through a ring.  The Dometic has this affair..... I struggled to get the winding arm out and it suddenly popped out. Apparently the way to do it it it push in, then turn clockwise and voila! Next, we had friends coming to have a drive out in Molly.  It's the first time we had used the rear passenger seats. The seat belts needed sorting out first! We only went to Dungeness.  It's not far and it gave them an idea what it's like in the van. Our previous motorhomes had only 2 travel seats so we couldn't take passengers.  We managed to park after some messing about and had tea in the station buffet. It's called the End of the ...

Today we had a short run out to Dungeness with the simple idea of a walk and get some air. When we set off it was slightly misty. As the day progressed it became foggy instead. CIn the cold and freezing weather we went into the End of the Line Café and had a coffee. The last train had departed already and there were few people around. The cafe is good in that half the room is dog friendly with signs on the table showing where to sit.  Who is this strange apparition? Once finished we went for a walk, but it still cold, about 1°C and we didn't get far before running back to the van. Then home time. The drive along the coast was smooth and it got foggier as we went along. A short run out but we needed it and so did Malibu Molly. The Old Lighthouse
