Everything’s coming together.

Only 3 bedtimes and so much still to do. It’s the tazzing  about that’s time consuming. Getting a spare part here, collecting death defying meds from there. Dry goods purchases to be done before fresh stuff. Meat frozen in house freezer can’t be transferred to van freezer until it’s rock solid. Make a chilli for overnight stop at Canterbury and set the timers on the security lights to take into account lighter mornings and longer days. Pause for breath ............ Then there’s all the “ See ya duck” goodbyes with friends and family, advanced purchase of birthday cards for those special days that we will miss, and the filling and refilling of the water tank because I forgot to close the tap.
Meanwhile, Severn Trent are deciding whether to dig up my drive because of a possible water leak, all the house plants have to be found temporary carers and next day delivery of a new swimming cossi hasn’t arrived!!! Such trials, before going off to relax and have fun and adventures.

 Still not got long enough arms for taking selfies

Photo says it all














See you all on the other side, as we do our own version of Brexit !!

It’s that time of year again!

Hello Pals.
Daf and Sue are about to hit the road again and point our Motorhome in a southerly direction, towards France and Spain, with a glimpse of Morocco from from the southern most tip of Andalucia.
There are still places to explore on the North African continent but not this year. We’ll make do with our memories for now.
Only a few more sleeps before we shake off the Beast from the East and leave the snow, frost and biting winds and replace them with sun, sand, sea and sangria, commonly known as the Kids from Cadiz.
We are abandoning our Dover overnight stop on Marine Parade for the Park and Ride camperstop in Canterbury. Two reasons really. The police are sticking parking fines on windscreens, as the total redevelopment of Dover continues at a pace. Secondly, in all our years of travelling, we have never used Eurotunnel, so we have saved our Tesco vouchers and converted them into a return ticket on the train and are excitedly looking forward to the experience of going beneath the English Channel and re  emerging south of Calais!

This was our shakedown weekend but it was too cold to fill the water system in case of burst pipes.

We came home early so that we weren’t snowed in, but the next time you see Billy Burstner, he will be travelling in Spring sunshine, taking The Intrepids to warmer climes.
