Today marked the end of a beautiful chapter… I sold my hand-painted 1971 Danbury Bay Window camper.

She wasn’t just a vehicle – she was a travelling piece of art, wrapped in the beaches, cliffs, and skies of Cornwall. Over the years, she’s turned heads wherever she went… not because she was polished or perfect, but because she carried the spirit of creativity and freedom.

Every brushstroke on her body was painted by hand: Mawgan Porth’s tides, Carne Beach’s hydrangeas, and the silver light that falls over Cornish headlands. She’s been my companion on countless journeys, through sunshine and rain, layered coats of paint and woolly jumpers… even the odd seagull inspection.

Selling her felt bittersweet, but also right. Like all good art, she’s ready for a new life, new adventures, and new stories to collect.
So if you see her driving by, give her a wave and a kiss from me… she’s carrying a little piece of my heart and a lot of Cornwall’s magic.
