Today marked the day where the Bugs headed in for hibernation as winter is well and truly upon the citizens of the UK, especially when on Thursday morning, it was just -2C. As hardcore and dedicated as I am as an aircooled VW enthusiast, it made the most sense with ultimate regret to call it a day and put my boy Lennon to bed, as well as our other Beetles in the five strong roster that I am proud to call a proper family collection.

| The move begins. |
No doubt, I am proud to say that it's been an excellent year of VW restoration from starting the blog with just two cars and eventually expanding to a total of five with 8 Beetles gracing their character and presence on the driveway for what undoubtedly has been the best year of my life as 2014 has allowed me, despite the bad, despite the unemployment, to understand what I so wonderfully enjoy in life and who I am as a person.
So this morning, my family and I finally put our toys away in the garden until the weather perks up and that meant arguably a stressful and painful experience as moving cars isn't as easy as you first think. It's a godsend that Beetle's are generally light cars and I am not lugging around large Land Rovers!
I would like to say a few words on behalf of every single person who has read and visited my blog. Firstly, I never expected to see this explode as big as it has. Over 80,000 times my blog has been visited and I concurrently say that I am touched that so many people have take the time to read and enjoy a small insight into my life with the Beetles, as they have been so integral in my young life so far, at the age of 20 to own 3 classic cars with a watercooled car that I am yet to announce, it's amazing to see that people are thoroughly interested in what I have to share and I think that deserves a moment of reflection and ultimately, a big thanks to all of you.

| The move. Complete! |
This doesn't mean I will stop blogging just because I don't have my Beetle's running around to and fro work, as I have a lot of scope to be talking about over the winter and planning new material in the process for 2015 and beyond.

| Alive and well: Jake Bugg. |
I can announce that although Lennon & Co. are in their cosy beds, the Jake Bugg hype has only just begun and I will share more on that later. Sting is slowly gathering dust but is now solid as a rock so I'd like to share his progress with you soon and also announce our new introduction into the Special Forces team, which are only reserved for the watercooled, modern VW's of this world. On top of that, I have some brilliant writing news to tell you that I am tightly lipped about until the new year.
