What have you ever forgotten? Mousy off again..

[Mousy]

cliffanger everyone sends their love.

We had a great weekend with a trip to Cartagena and lots of family fun.

Left to right..

Our son in law Simon, his wife Phoebe (our youngest daughter) Martin (mr mousy) our eldest daughter Libby, holding our only grandchild Ophelia, Harry our youngest holding Millie, Me and Rob Libby’s boyfriend.

This is what happens when you remove the spare bed from the motorhome…they all come over for a weekend !

Van all packed ready for our 12 week winter trip to Spain..including the new Husqavana 401 motorcycle.
As always I spend the first hour trying to think of things we may have left behind…As some of you may remember, we’ve departed on previous trips without Mr Mousys pants, all the maps and aire books and various sundries which at the time seemed dire but I now can’t even remember.

I finally relax and conclude we’ve done ok this time.

We’ve taken the rather brave step of removing the mattress from the front drop down bed to provide additional storage (shoes and handbags !)
Brave because no more grown up kids joining us for a freebie trip but I also cannot dismiss Mr Mousy to that bed if he breathes incorrectly! I’m a captive to our island bed…89 nights, 12 weeks, 3 months…long time however you phrase it.

We make excellent time to euro tunnel, 6 hours from home. Weather not great but we are on our way to sunshine so what’s one last day of rain n wind?

I take Millie into pet reception to check her microchip and rather smugly pass over her passport (purchased in Spain last year with a 3 year rabies vaccination) no expensive Animal health certificate for us!

Except it’s not her Spanish passport it’s her old British one! We’ve packed the wrong one (Royal We of course it’s Martins fault…but I’m trying to be magnanimous



Que phone call to eldest Son, “got a few hours spare darling?!”

Eurotunnel are great and book us on the 9.00am train tomorrow morning and we turn the van around heading back to south Wales hoping to meet George halfway with the right passport.

I’m just glad he found it at home otherwise we’d be handing over Millie!

It’s a shame he can’t fit the mattress in his Yaris.. Martin is definitely in the dog house..

So as I have a few hours to spare.. what have you ever forgotten or left behind?

If Martin snores (or worse) I understand there are some very nice luxury hotels in Spain.

We once forgot bedding - left in it's box in the hall and didn't make it out to the van.

What gorgeous photos - although Ophelia has been taking lessons from Millie in the last one ….

Glad you had a lovely weekend.

Now chill and get your breath back!

All we really need is CPAP machine and medicines, passports, tickets and cash card(s). Everything else can be bought.

Reminds me of that Dean Martin song - 'That's amphorae"
