1130 hours Thursday morning and everything is packed including the kitchen sink and the lawnmower, the latter just in case the wardens are slacking on European camp sites.
It amazes me that we used to set off every year to France with our two children and all the accompaniments that four people needed. Now there are only two of us and yet the car and the caravan seem to be so much fuller. Mind you, part of the extra bulk is down to the medications that we need to function normally and avoid crying out in pain whenever we twist, turn or bend down. Whoever invented Ibuprofen ranks alongside Louis Pasteur and his invention of penicillin in my eyes. Mind you I might have got that wrong and it was Marie Curie who was the genius?
The other bulky thing is the amount of knitting wool that is loaded up for the trip. By my reckoning the total comes to just short of 8 kilos and by the time we get home I would expect Annabel to have enough jumpers and cardigans to take her through University! Richard and Charlotte need to add another bedroom to any property purchase to provide necessary storage.
Anyway, final touches are being added before our 1430 departure for Dover and trying to outdo my older brother, hopefully a couple of pictures of our transport and home for the next four weeks are attached.
