High Wycombe

Our overnight stop at Englefield Green is always a good stopover. Although it is on the flight path of Heathrow we were not disturbed by the flights at all. The early morning flights all seemed to be landing from the other approach to the airport, so there was only a very faint rumble from that direction.

Today was the day that we had to commence the process of showing Hilton to prospective new owners! A bitter sweet day for he has been such a great home for us for the past seven European Summers. 

We spent most of the morning decluttering and just generally cleaning and tidying the van. Whilst doing this we had a call from James who suggested he dropped around with some coffees, which he duly did. We had planned to wash the van but with the rain still falling it became a pointless exercise. 

By mid afternoon we were back on the road to High Wycombe to meet Toni and Andrew, who had expressed a very positive response to our add.  We had a very warm reception from them and their daughter, Charmaine. After much discussion over a coffee and cake Hilton was on the cusp of having new owners. 

We left Toni and Andrew’s home just as the rain started to fall heavily. We spoke with Madeleine and James before we drove on to our overnight stop - still pouring with rain. 

We believe Hilton will be going to very caring new owners.
