I highly recommend signing up to the Pimoroni notification email system to be informed when RPi4 devices become available for sale. As some of you may know, getting hold of an RPi4 4GB/8GB device over the past 6+ months has been nearly impossible - you "could" go on eBay or Amazon and fork out £275 for one from a "squatter", but that's just insane, no RPi 4 project is worth that much. https://shop.pimoroni.com/products/raspberry-pi-4-essentials-kit?variant=39850460086355 So, I did the proper thing and I signed up to get informed and that's exactly what happened.  I received the email yesterday morning, I clicked on the link - I see that Pimoroni have the RPi4 4GB in stock for £54 (basic board), they are limiting purchasing to 1-device for 1-person (totally agree with this approach), so as to be fair to everyone....  A few clicks later and one is winging its way over: I now just have to remember what it was that I needed the RPi4 for in the first place!?!?!?!...

well, it's been a rather long time coming, but I've finally gotten around to getting another campervan / motorhome. I did have one back in the early 2000's and think I 'sold it/gave it away' around 2006.  It was an old 1980 VW T25, not the sexy curvy ones that everyone pays silly money for nowadays, but the boxy practical one.  Well, I say practical, it had the 2.0Ltr petrol engine in it that did about 15miles-per-gallon and weighed about 3-tonne! She was great though, we did drive her all around the country, from the edge of Cornwall, all around Scotland and back again - mostly in the rain! I did say, we would get a proper motorhome "shortly" afterwards..... errr.... well, time flies doesn't it! I did start to make serious enquiries in 2018 and was going to look at getting a motorhome at the end of 2019... and then COVID-19 kicked in (I so wish I'd just gotten a van at this point - it would have saved about £30,000!!!! oh well.... it is what it is...
