I think you'll need to treat all three of them at the vets. I think it'll be a simple squirt up the nose.

My dog didn't think it was simple

I don't know who your with but around here EA, EE has been having a lot of no signal complaints?

I'm with Virgin mobile who share EE's network (?) and lately, my phone is constantly coming up "data roaming lost" (even though I don't use it) If I go to "network provider" and try to select Virgin, it says "not registered on network", switches back to EE and then the data roaming messages start again.

I get this on PolarSteps....

After lunch i tested my newly fitted water tank by refilling it on the outskirts of kardamili before moving on to the next town of stoupa. Didn't see this one last year as its not easy to find parking but i succeeded in the end . Had a walk through town . Ps my polarsteps isnt working either ..and my phone on ee has now list connection . Fortunately this giffgaff one on my tablet seems to work . Now in Lagos nikolas

Stoupa......one of my very favourite places (off season)!

There was a restaurant on the front that sold pork, that had been slow cooked all day, served on paper with nothing but loads of salt! It was fantastic! Nice walk from there around to next village (Agios Nikolaos)?

There used to be a water fountain in the square with free mountain water!

Very jealous!

pictures 4 and 5 remind me of our Greek road trip last month. Mr Offagain was a member of a Facebook page where people posted pictures of unloved vehicles. Every so often he would exclaim something along the lines of “oh yes she’s a beauty”, park in a Greek manner (just stopping wherever the motor home ended up and putting the hazards on), and nip out to take a picture of an abandoned car/van/truck etc. Once we even turned around and went back so he could take a picture of a particularly rusty, dented heap but when we arrived, moments later, at the spot where it had been “abandoned” it had been driven away!

I had 2 of those MK 3 cortinas (not at the same time), both that colour!

 

[Northernraider]

Once again inundated with germans. Had a nice quiet spot last night till 2 german Van's pulled in around 8pm ....noisy buggers who had visitors stop in cars ( also German) till after 11pm .....so took the opportunity to move and park in the small beach carpark I was in last year. Not sure if it's just theres not many of any other nationalities here this year but it does seem like Germany has re occupied Greece this year. Nearly every van you see is german and whilst they all seem to be very sociable with each other I've not found them to be very chatty this year. ...most haven't spoke any english which again is different from last year

Keep the pics going please. We can't get in to Europe next year due to medical problems (nothing to do with covid0 so we're planning a three month UK trip. It's not the same though so we live for photos from lucky motorhomers who can get in to The Continent (is it ever called that nowadays?)
I was thinking that there are never any people in your photos but then a few appeared in the last batch of pics.

Are you trying to subtly imply that Tam is 'in-continent'?

 

[Lenny HB]

I had a 1975 Mk3 Cortina it was 9 Months old when I bought it. Worse car I ever had, auto gearbox was diabolical & in strong winds on a motorway it would change lanes on its own.

Yea some of them can get on your tits.
I got into a conversation on a site with a noisy German motorhomer who was mouthing off about how lazy the British are.
He said ‘I drive my truck from Hamburg to Liverpool via Holland/Belgium over to the UK and up to Liverpool, drop my load off and back to Hamburg in under 2 days.”
I told him my dad used to pick a load up in Coningsby in Lincolnshire drop it off in Hamburg and make it back to Coningsby the same day!
The German motorhomer, gave a sarcastic laugh and replied ‘Oh yeah old man, what was he driving?’

I replied a Lancaster Bomber, he didn’t speak to me again.
