My dad is a carpenter. He can find work almost anywhere, and our family likes to travel. So he and my mum decided to buy an old bus and make a house on wheels. Dad built the inside of our house bus, and he and Mum planned it to be just like a home. Our bus has a tiny kitchen, a living room that's also Mum and Dad's bedroom at night, and even a toilet and shower. My brother Ben and I share a bedroom at the back of the bus, and my big sister, Gemma, has her own room up top. |
On a house bus, everything has its own special place. Our bikes are hung up at the front of the bus, and the dinghy sits on the roof. In our bedroom, toys and things go in the cupboard and the cupboard has a fold-down lid that makes a desk. We put our clothes in drawers under the bed. There's one cupboard that's under my mattress. We have a bus rule that says whoever rummages that cupboard has to remake my bed! We have another rule about keeping the kitchen bench top clear. If we don't, we can't lift the lids to reach the food underneath! A house bus is such a small home, I see lots of my family. Ben and I play together all the time, and Mum teaches me recorder and helps with Correspondence School lessons. |
