Let me introduce you to the newest member of the Little Box Brownie Family, My newest Toy, the most exciting purchase ever, the cuties thing you ever did see………….. Drum roll please……….
My little 1950’s bondwood caravan. Isn’t she a dream? Granted she needs a lot of work, but isn’t she cute?
I told you a few months ago about my mid life crisis and how I was looking for a little caravan well I found her just a couple of k’s down the road, there she stood in the middle of a huge paddock, with daises spring up around her. I didn’t even look inside her as the owner couldn’t find the key but she was just what I was looking for so I told him I would take her. Well he looked at me like are your serious, your going to take her? Yep I’ll take her! He asked me quite a few times if I wanted to think about it, nope I said I’ll take her.
You realise she needs a lot of work he asked, and you don’t want to look inside?, yep thats fine I’ll take her. So I gave him a deposit and said I would be back. I was going to have to get new tyres for her before I could drive her as hers tyres where flat and cracked. So the lovely gentleman I brought her off said he would get some and change them for me.
In order to thank him for changing the tyres for me and selling me his awesome caravan, I baked him and his wife this little tart. Nothing is better than home baked goodness, well not in my book there isn’t.
I haven’t thought of a name for her yet any ideas?
My list so far is…
- Little B
- Cookies and cream (because she will be cream) I can’t take credit for this name, it was my sisters.
- truly scrumptious (because when I drive around with her I sing the song from chitty chitty bangbang, your truly scrumptious, yes truly, truly scrumptious. (at the top of my lungs I might add)
- Miss daisy (Because I’m driving miss daisy)
- Gerty
- lola
- Cupcake (cos she is so cute)
Hi Sophia, OMG how lovely “she is” How does “Rose Red’ or just “Rose” sound. Oo how about “Bella” for beautiful. How hard is that going to be, to choose the name! What about “Apple” sorry will stop now. he he exciting!
As for the wonderful tart it would be just the thing to go with my stewed rhubard for my supper tonight.
Good luck with the naming of your caravan.
Always G
mmm I love rhubarb, would be perfect with this. Yeah I’m so undecided about names, I like apple.
Perfect tart -Such a lovely and simple recipe with gorgeous pictures!
Thank you
Sophie I love your caravan, I’ve been dreaming of just such a gem to sell my cookies out of. What fun!! Your tart looks fabulous, and your photos are beautiful as always!
Hi Anne,
Yes I’m in Love she is so pretty. Let me know if you find one, there such fun to tidy up, so many choices though.
it looks delish!
Thanks Dina
Have you named your little travel trailer yet? I hope not because I really do believe she should be called “Daisy” for several reasons. First, the “Driving Miss Daisy” reference and second and most important, you said you found her growing in daisies. It seems meant to be as far as I could tell. Don’t you just love tart pans in these different shapes other than the standard round ones!! A different and unusual tart pan can make any dessert seem something elegant and gourmet.
Hi, Thanks for your comment, yes I didn’t pick up on that until you and a couple of others made the same point, that she was in the field with all the daisy’s, it does seem very fitting. Different pans can make it a little bit special, wish I had a few more shapes. I have some really cute heart ones too.
You are too cute! I vote for “Cupcake”. What are you going to do with Cupcake? Can you even stand up in there?
And I love your tart. May I sell you something so that you’ll make me a tart? 😉 Jk, I’ll definitely be making this soon!
🙂 Yes she is taller than she looks, isn’t she just so cute Yeah the tart is super good, give it a try.

Heya this is kind of of off topic but I was wondering if blogs use
WYSIWYG editors or if you have to manually code with HTML.
I’m starting a blog soon but have no coding skills so I
wanted to get advice from someone with experience.
