A woman transforming a London bus into the ultimate mobile home has shown how the work to turn her dream into reality is taking shape 10 months later.
Hayley Rowson, 28, from Abergele bought the double-decker in May last year after winning £12,000 by uploading photos and videos to the OnlyFans website.
The delivery driver was able to reduce his working hours after the success of his online content from £11 and a subscription of £8.98 a month.

Hayley bought the bus for £3,250 and set about covering it in order to leave her home and live ‘off the grid’ with her partner and pets.

She said: “I love that I’m not going to be stuck in one place and I feel like I’m about to have so much more freedom, especially since I won’t be living not on a mortgage.
“I am happy to see a beautiful space that I can be proud to be developed around me. I am delighted that the project is finished and I can’t wait to show what I have made of it!
“Besides the bus, I’m also working on another project which when completed will be used as an Airbnb and I hope to release it in the coming months.
“The conversion was a difficult and challenging journey, but fun at the same time.
“We encountered situations that we didn’t think we would fall into, but working with them made it unique and special for me.

Hayley added: “Since the last time North Wales Live visited there have been massive changes to the bus and they are noticeable from the start.
