Born Again.

'Medi' is my campervan

She's knocking on a bit

It showed in her appearance

But still she's super fit

She romps along the motorway

Like a girl of half her age

But when you took a closer look

You could see she'd reached that stage

Where all the bumps and scratches

Were making her look old.

So I booked for her a face lift

Whilst feeling rather bold

I ask for a full refurbishment

I want her looking posh

I'd recently won some money

So I didn't mind the dosh

Now I've got her back again

She wanted to show off

So I loaded up a picnic

For me and Midge to scoff.

Scarecrow Sal and Dolly

Came along as well

But today was Medi's day

So on them we will not dwell

We only went a little way

And parked next to the sea

And there she stood just showing off

For everyone to see.

Medi’s looking beautiful,

That’s very plain to see,

She’s on her best behaviour

For her day out by the sea.

Thank you for the photo Don and enjoy lots of days out. Xxx😘💖😘💖

[Hidden in reply to sassy59]

Thank you, you're better at this rhyming lark than I am. 😘 ( I hope Pete is fighting off that infection.)

[sassy59 in reply to Hidden]

Oh no I’m not! You’re excellent Don.

Pete’s coughing and spluttering but he’s getting there thank you. Xxxx 😘

Medi looks great. We have a motorhome too and we love our jaunts. We say, "If in doubt, go out!"

[Hidden in reply to Jacmidlands]

That sounds a good motto to have. Trouble is I keep losing my mojo. 🙁

[skischool]

Belting poem and Medi looks really classy and also i see you are on the Lancastrian riviera once again,will you be taking her to the casino tonight per chance Don Quixote?

Ski's,Scruff's and a motorbike and side car x

[Hidden in reply to skischool]

I remember you had an eye on a new Smart car, I keep expecting to see one pull up outside my house. I had a BSA 650 with a side car 1950 something. 😎

[skischool in reply to Hidden]

So did my dad .BSA 650 gold flash,i think i was born in the side car while my elder brother the golden child rode pillion. Mum had already buggered off by then,don't think she liked the side car? x

[Hidden in reply to skischool]

That's right 'Gold Flash' I'd forgotten that bit. We went on our honeymoon to Scotland on the single then bought the sidecar when our first was born.

[skischool in reply to Hidden]

Happy days,i still feel cold thinking about it but eventually i got to ride pillion and lean to one side when dad told me...and if i didn't i remember the thick ear as well.

[Hidden in reply to skischool]

My wife Margaret and I went to Mousehole in Cornwall on the bike when she was over 8 months pregnant. When she asked “What if my waters broke on the way?” I told her I’d be okay, I had my big waterproof coat on. I think I’ve still got the scar.

[Hacienda in reply to Hidden]

The Book should be ready to Purchase soon Master Poe, then you can Buy that Super Flash Side car, just because you want to go to Manchester and pick up your Side Kick, 2 Golden Old Men with a DOG & CAT on the Road Once Again....Enjoy. xxxx

[Hidden in reply to Hacienda]

You can’t class Skis as ‘Old’, he’s nearly 25years younger than me.

[Hacienda in reply to Hidden]

Words of Endearment you old Codger, I'm older than Ski's, But I am not old either. Then, Numbers are Just That...Nada. Mwarr xxxxx

[Yatzy in reply to Hidden]

Medi looks super smart and real shiny now. Enjoy the summer season with her, Don....will help you keep your mojo going! 🎡⛵️🎪 ☀️ xx

[Whitechinchilla in reply to Hidden]

I am going to laugh all day at your post Don🤣🤣🤣🤣

[Skatergirl1]

Brilliant xx....I need an adventure before dementia, am doing up an old van as a camper so hopefully will be ready for the summer. X

[Hidden in reply to Skatergirl1]

That sounds a great idea. A lady with many skills by the sound of it. 👍😀

[Burs]

Hi don. She looks very smart and ready for new adventures, enjoy every mile !! All of you lol. Love burs xxxx

[SquirrelsHolt]

Loving this one Mr.D ! Very envious of Scarecrow Sal and Dolly, having such fun with you and the ever faithful Midge.

[Kittykat2]

Looking good Don 👍🏻🚐 X

[CELAT06]

And as Stevie Wonder would say 'Isn't she lovely'

[Hidden]

Looking very smart 😍 hope you all have a brilliant summer in your lovely camper van. Majt 😀

[HungryHufflepuff]

Yes looking very good there under that lovely blue sky. Wishing Medi and her motley crew many great adventures 🚐

[Hidden in reply to HungryHufflepuff]

I was a bit unsure of that 'motley crew' bit, so I thought I'd go and remind myself:

"Adjective (motlier, motliest) (of a group of people or things) incongruously varied; disparate. Noun 1 an incongruous mixture. "

Well yes, can't argue with that. 😉

[Johnsel]

Medi’s looking very smart and hopefully you are breathing in all that lovely sea air. Hope you all have some lovely adventures this summer. Carole and Rosie 😘😘

[Izb1]

What a dazzler, Medi looks super and all ready for the summer, you lucky thing x where was the photo taken Don

[Hidden in reply to Izb1]

I brief visit to Southport sea wall. 🙂

[Hacienda in reply to Hidden]

Memories of my Dear Mum taking us(8) all to Southport for a Day out, Lots of Jam Butties and Sherbet Drinks. Though I loved going to New Brighton on the "Ferry" across the Mersey, again just a day out, we all loved our 1 day out during the Summers all those Years ago. Cherish your memories while you can Folks. Love n Hugs Don. xxxxx

[Lyd12]

Very smart. We had a Lambretta for a few years before our first car. Went to Wales on it, bit tiring!

Hope Sal is settling in nicely and beginning to smile!

[Hidden in reply to Lyd12]

You used to get more of that 'open road' feeling than when sat in a car. As regards Scarecrow Sal, I must admit I'm struggling a bit there, but it's early days yet. 🙄

[watergazer]

Medi looks super- all gleaming and shiny. I hope your crew all enjoy and appreciate the new look Don.

[Hidden in reply to watergazer]

Thank you. They don't say a lot, but I'm sure they do. 😉

[Hidden]

Perfect prose about Magnificent Medi in all her restored glory! What a cracker!

Wishing you and your crew many happy miles Don... 😊

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

Thank you. Magnificent Medi eh! Ooo...er she'll like that. 🧐

[Titchykath]

Getting our ready too can’t wait 😊

[Hidden in reply to Titchykath]

It's a good feeling isn't it! 👍😀

[MoyB]

Looking very smart! xx Moy

[Shirleyj]

And what a fine girl she is 😊🚐🚐xx

[JANET127]

She looks wonderful! Fun ventures to you and Medi!

[joyce74]

She's looking good Don . Hope you dressed to impress so as not to let her down .

[Hidden in reply to joyce74]

I just wear my usual pin-striped trousers, black jacket and bowler hat. My rolled umbrella hangs on the back of the driver's seat. 🧐

[joyce74 in reply to Hidden]

Would be nice to see a photo Don.

[Hidden]

You just want to laugh at my red socks, I know! 😅

[goat-lady]

That's a great tale. I have a Reliant Robin- Delilah. I know how these lovely older vehicles become important family members. Lovely photo.

[Hidden in reply to goat-lady]

Good heavens, a Reliant Robin-Delilah must be quite rare now. How nice. 🙂

[megshafer]

Medi's looking real sharp!!

You take good care Don, and...cuddles to the adorable Midge!

Meg

[Jason098765]

Looking wonderful !,

[Hidden in reply to Jason098765]

Thanks for that Jason09876 I see you haven’t posted very much since you joined so I feel quite honoured. 👍😀

[Whitechinchilla]

Super cool. She looks amazing Don. Hope you all enjoyed your day at the seaside.😉 do you have the name of her surgeon?😂😂

[Hidden in reply to Whitechinchilla]

That I do and I’ll PM it to anyone who wants it. BTW his wife works at the pharmacy with whom I am registered, so between them they are doing a pretty good job. 😉
