i don't really understand these blogs-why the urge to share ? can you make money from them in some way ? we travelled Europe for years with 4 kids,selling etched brass jewellery [try making that at the side of the road !] on the markets,illegally of course! or further south doing villa maintenance work and making furniture. just never thought to share it or write a diary about it- busy living it i suppose . so i'm glad the guy seems to have had a good time !

I think the intention is to try and get the blog successful enough to make money in some way; advertising maybe? Or a quest for recognition of some kind? Hoping it will lead to sponsorship? Who knows. Maybe it's just a way of telling a story? A lot of folk do it, but I think you have to be that way inclined. I've never kept a diary of any kind in my life. Must have to be pretty self-disciplined/organised to do it, and like you said Nigel, if you're busy just getting on and doing it's not something most people would bother with. Still think it's quite nicely done though. Plus the technology to do it wasn't really available for you back in the day, mr brown

Have you seen his vid? www.youtube.com/watch?v=PRhtwi_yWtwVery impressive. He made a good job on the van. Basic and practical Note points 9 and 10, long live the sock and cup wash and digging a hole in the woods Also, layout allows feet up on the sink to relax - how many can do that!

Been following his blog for quite a while.Interesting. We took about 900 pics on our France /Spain trip.Didnt bother after a couple of weeks though, as theres only so many pics of mountain scenery etc, that you can take until it gets samey.Would love to post some, but not clever enough!
