The Grassed Up Van - A turf‑covered motorhome is always going to raise eyebrows, and this blog milks that glorious absurdity for all it’s worth. Meet the GUV: the only van that looks like it’s escaped from a garden centre and gone feral. Follow its adventures as it rolls around the UK handing out advice, snacks and eco‑ish vibes while pretending to be a mobile lawn. It’s quirky, green (literally) and guaranteed to make you smile — even if you’re still mowing your own drive.

Whilst at the recent "small business sunday" #sbs awards event hosted by BBC's Dragons Den stalwart Theo Paphitis because Annie's biz had won back in June 2011 we came across Loving Outdoors who had also been commended by Theo plus tales of their interesting GUV van. Here's an extract from them " Award winning online outdoor retailer Loving Outdoors are heading to the hills and beyond in their distinctive new motor home. Clad in Astroturf, ‘The GUV’ or ‘Grassed Up Van’ as fans have dubbed it, will take the Loving Outdoors team to outdoor events, festivals and popular walking routes across the country where they’ll be on hand with expert outdoor advice, drinks and snacks, fun activities and plenty of chat." So why not find out more about it and where you can see it. Nice people *smile*

Eco minus the fuel type obviously #COP26

What do you think of it? as a concept? and as a talking point? Have your say here, just leave a comment to get the discussion flowing. I'm sure many folk will have views.
