Well after a very stressful day yesterday my wonderful husband seems to have managed to fix the van so I should have no problems getting to Prescot Carnival on Saturday, yay.  I'm still very nervous though, it's very scary putting yourself out there for the first time.  Fingers crossed my trusty steed doesn't let me down again.  It's the ideal vehicle for something like this, it has running water, a toilet and a cooker for that all important cuppa if necessary.  Oh and if things get really slow I can get my head down in the back, hahaha!
