3 months Potjes & Deksels on the road
It's been a while since we've written a blog, but we certainly haven't been sitting still. Time for an update. Where to start? We've been going through all kinds of things these past few months. Let me just start...
Tadaaaa
We are already a few months closer to our dream of being able to hit the road with Evie. January always flies by, but this year for us even faster than usual!
December month
There. The December month is a wrap. Every year it is a month full of children and family parties with men with white beards and birthdays. It is therefore also very appropriate that for Tessa and me this month was mainly dedicated to our ''baby'' named Potjes & Deksels.
Evie
Her name is Evie (our Iveco Daily). Born in Italy and she spent the last few years in Germany. At the moment she is located in Brabant (where both Tessa and I are born) waiting to be renamed as a Dutch bus. Once she is renamed she has earned some extra attention, because with an periodic vehicle inspection until February 2021 we won't get far ?.
Busses
This issue is close to our hearts, it is the backbone of our initiative! We have decided to go for a newer used bus (instead of buses that are over 30 years old). Our garage owner gave us the tip that parts can last another 10 years...

Busses and more
Recently, we have come to insights. It was difficult, but I had to let go of a short-lived love. We had our eye on a classic Renault Estafette, which could be adapted into a waste-free SRV wagon like the one we use for...
Heading East
The Netherlands is a beautiful country! We went to the east of the country yesterday. To Neede to be exact. You really have a very different nature there. It is more hilly than the polder area in South Holland, where we are now settled....

Potjes & Deksels & Vet & Lazy
We just had a cup of coffee with Ruben from Vet & Lazy. Really nice how thoughtful he was. We are looking for a waste free option for selling beer. They're developing barrels of...
Daytrip to Haarlem
What a beautiful city Haarlem is! Yesterday morning we visited Rick van der Poel in Roelofarendsveen. Van der Poel is a family business that drives around with SRV cars next to their supermarket and their newly opened liquor store. We received a lot of tips...
