New Wheels - A Shiny Red Van!

The Future is Bright - The Future Is Red!

We are in the Autumn of my second full years gardening with Kingdom Plants. 

I have much to be thankful for - I have recently made an investment in a new van - a Ford Transit Connect - Long Wheel Base - Special Edition!!  A vehicle that should serve me well.  When I sit in it - I feel like I am at the controls of the star ship enterprise.

My boys love the van and want many trips in it.  They are helping me work out how all the gadgets work.  And finding all the cubby holes - places to keep things and store sweets etc.....  I feel much like a little boy myself as I learn how to navigate it and enjoy all of its benefits - finding something new daily.  I am blessed!

Thank you to my loyal customers this second year.  Without your support and advice - I would not have got this far.  And also thanks to my wife and family - who are saints to put up with me!

I am blessed to know some wonderful people through kingdom plants - it has helped bed me into the local Exeter community.  And I feel certain that my vocation is my calling.  It is a small world and one person knows another and that is how it grows.  You are often as good as your last job - so to work hard and do your very best every time - is a good lesson for me.

The van - should extend my scope.  It has internal racking which means I have a place for everything and everything in its place.  Rather than ferreting around in the family ford focus - for tools and mowers - bags of grass and spiders....  My wife is already enjoying the benefits!

With a much more professional image I hope to be even more productive and efficient.  We all need to start somewhere - but I believe this is working and the risk in terms of a van is a good one.

So if you see a red van - ford transit connect - a little like postman pat - that's me!

Onwards and upwards as my old office boss and I loved to say.


All the best,


Happy (Camper) Sage.  xxx
