What will I do with the Princess Nova?

So have you got any idea what I’m going to do with this car­a­van? I’ve had lots of sug­ges­tions from people. Jonathan thought I should turn it into a mobile record­ing stu­dio. I thought this was a great idea. Kris sug­gested a writ­ing retreat. Even bet­ter. But both of these ideas mean I would have to leave the house and drive to the car­a­van to do it. It’s just not going to happen.

Dickon, ever the edi­tor, thought I should try to get some cap­i­tal out of it by doing some­thing PR-able, or ask­ing the high-circulation car­a­van­ning mag­a­zines if they wanted to fea­ture it in any way. Then he sug­gested I try sell­ing it to BBC’s Top Gear, as an excel­lent can­di­date for destruc­tion. “You’d get some money for it, and White Stuff would get another round of pub­lic­ity, so they’d be happy.”

Jols would never go for that.

Jon sug­gested I drive it slowly through Lon­don. It would be sure to get pil­fered, piece by piece. It’d be gone by the time I got to the M1.

The one thing Jols and I have con­cluded between us is that we need to have a party. Matt sug­gested tak­ing it to some car­a­van park and invit­ing loads of peo­ple over to camp.

Sounds like a plan.

You up for it?
