  • It's so beautiful. Heartbreaking having to sell isn't it. Sold mine 20 years ago and I still see her in my dreams. patti3331 (55) • 3:10 pm, Sat, 25 Apr Hi 👋 Yes she is pretty special …. Esp. Since my dad has worked on her with me . But life has to move forward and I’ve now purchased a Tiny house so the Bedford is ready for new adventures with a new owner who will hopefully love her as much as I have 😊 She will provide comfort and opportunities for someone else who needs her 🌈🤗 Maybe that’s you ? karen672 (14) • Saturday, 25 April 2026
