A few weekends back we crammed the car full of warm duvets and carbs galore, and headed West to Bristol to collect Rosie, a four wheeled beauty who was to be our home for the next 4 days. I’d not been campervanning since I was pregnant with Jack, and it is a bit of a pipe dream to one day own one, so I was super excited to be heading off on an adventure, all 4 of us.
