The story behind the bus

Meet Jo & Albus.

Jo was an Art teacher who always fancied doing something a little different. So she bought a bus.

She learned to drive it, stripped it out, turned it into an art studio and painted the whole thing by hand.

Albus doesn't travel quite as much these days, but he's still very much part of the family — and there's quite a story behind how he got here.
