An Age of Magic

Do some people plan their trip at all…?

On our drive back from France one thing we noticed was the number of vehicles that were broken down and requiring roadside assistance alng the way. Even crazier was the fact that a fair percentage of them were caravans and rv’s owned by northern Europeans.

It must be incredibly expensive to get such vehicles towed and especially when you are in France and you actually live in Holland or Denmark; have these people never heard of insurance or an rv extended warranty…? one particularly sorry looking man had a rather fed up looking wife, four kids and a dog all sitting on the roadside on a very hot day.

And there was not a tow truck in sight.

Back in the land of the living!

That’s what I always said whenever we got the chance to leave France for a while, i.e holidays, and now we have finally made the last move and relocated back to where we came from. Packing up for the last move home was a week-long affair of niggling worries, tiny disagreements about where things would go in the trailer and three kids getting increasingly hyper-excited about the whole thing.

Now we are back having survived it all and I have seen a loss of half a stone over the last two months which has me happy – the sun, hot weather, hard work and sweating were the only diet supplements that applied to me. All I have to do now is keep it off and follow it up with another half a stone!
