Louise Brealey Instagram – Gilbert watching crows. Lots of people have been incredibly kind and gone way out of their way to help me and Gibbers to do this journey. Some ‘this trip wouldn’t have been possible withouts’… Piers, who made sure the gas and electrics weren’t going to kill me and dresses up as Batman on the weekends. Trevor and his trusty blue rope – thanks for shaving off a bit of tree and gently yanking me out of a mud bath in Warkworth. Dave, from the tiny fishing harbour of Eyemouth, who made the van doors close again. Can someone please buy his garage, as he wants to retire? Beth, whose family-run company @fuellagoon makes thermal covers for camper windows, even geriatric Leyland Daf Convoy ex-minibuses, and who sewed them for me at the very last minute, because everything was very last minute. Big Steve near Eyam, who rebolted the lever thing that lifts the bonnet up and let Chris play catch with Ted the coolest Jack Russel we’d ever met. And finally, If you have a van – or are converting one, go to the brilliant, brilliant guys at @autoterm.store who sell and fit the toughest van heaters in the metaverse. I think they were designed for Latvian tanks and Dolly was a frozen shell until that heater went in. Now me and Gilb are warm as toast in the three seconds before toast goes cold. It’s made her into a room, a place to sit out storms. Like yesterday’s, on a blasted headland. It rocked us like we were in a boat on big seas. I probably shouldn’t have googled ‘can campingvans tip over in the wind’. Thank you all so much. Gifford, East Lothian
