Plotting realisations of random Gaussian fields using RandomFields package

For some reason when I try to using the plot() function to visualise the output of the RFsimulate() function in the RandomFields package, the output is always an empty plot.

I am just using the example code included in the help file:

## first let us look at the list of implemented models
RFgetModelNames(type="positive definite", domain="single variable",
                iso="isotropic") 

## our choice is the exponential model;
## the model includes nugget effect and the mean:
model <- RMexp(var=5, scale=10) + # with variance 4 and scale 10
  RMnugget(var=1) + # nugget
  RMtrend(mean=0.5) # and mean

## define the locations:
from <- 0
to <- 20
x.seq <- seq(from, to, length=200) 
y.seq <- seq(from, to, length=200)

simu <- RFsimulate(model=model, x=x.seq, y=y.seq)
str(simu)

Which gives:

Formal class 'RFspatialGridDataFrame' [package ""] with 5 slots
  ..@ .RFparams  :List of 5
  .. ..$ n         : num 1
  .. ..$ vdim      : int 1
  .. ..$ T         : num(0) 
  .. ..$ coordunits: NULL
  .. ..$ varunits  : NULL
  ..@ data       :'data.frame': 441 obs. of  1 variable:
  .. ..$ variable1: num [1:441] 4.511 2.653 3.951 0.771 2.718 ...
  ..@ grid       :Formal class 'GridTopology' [package "sp"] with 3 slots

  .. .. .. ..- attr(*, "names")= chr [1:2] "coords.x1" "coords.x2"
  .. .. ..@ cellsize         : Named num [1:2] 1 1
  .. .. .. ..- attr(*, "names")= chr [1:2] "coords.x1" "coords.x2"
  .. .. ..@ cells.dim        : int [1:2] 21 21
  ..@ bbox       : num [1:2, 1:2] -0.5 -0.5 20.5 20.5
  .. ..- attr(*, "dimnames")=List of 2
  .. .. ..$ : chr [1:2] "coords.x1" "coords.x2"
  .. .. ..$ : chr [1:2] "min" "max"
  ..@ proj4string:Formal class 'CRS' [package "sp"] with 1 slot
  .. .. ..@ projargs: chr NA

... so data has been simulated, but when I call

plot(simu)

I end up with something like this:

e.g. Empty plot

Can anyone tell what going on here?!
