It's oil on board and it is based on Croyde bay beach (in North Devon). In my imagination the van has managed to drive into the sand dunes and park up with it's rear end facing the sea.
My husband and I had a lovely date night on Croyde bay beach last year as the sun went down.
Samarivans is a fantastic campaign. The Samaritans is such an important charity, for people to know that if ever they need it, there is someone available at the end of the phone line, anytime of the day is an incredibly valuable service. It's great to be able to support their work.
