Webb's Birthday Celebration and Cambridge University Visit

Mike arranged a surprise trip for his wife Susan in Mary Jane the VW Camper van. Since the trip was over a week after Susan's birthday he decided to tell her otherwise, as he said "he might have been going on his own !".

Stella provided cake and champagne to celebrate Susan's birthday along with a special "Birthday" CD in the player to sing along to.

The destination was Cambridge to pick their son up from University for the Easter break. The Webb's younger son enjoyed sleeping in the roof bed and watching DVDs on the flipdown screen. The weather wasn't great (even though Mike had requested "good weather" on the booking form!) however the camper van was a cosy retreat with it's heating and electric blankets for even the coldest night (they named her Hurricane Jane for the way she fought off the storm).

What the Webb's liked the most was the spirit of freedom and being able to see over hedgerows. On their return they experienced some very strong side winds which was made driving Mary Jane at bit wahoo. Mike was amazed at the economy of Mary Jane's 1.4i engine which was far more efficient than he expected.

The Webb's plan to be back however next time they have vowed not to ask for good weather on the booking form.
