Today is our 32nd wedding anniversary, we forgot, as usual but were reminded quite late in the day by the good wishes\/commiserations of family members.<\/p>\n
R has been spending his time at work planning our route to Corfu, he has maps, atlases and notes everywhere, during one of his thinking moments he had a revelation; being quite concerned about how comfy the dog would be travelling all that way he decided to check out more suitable cars, this was on Thursday last week.<\/p>\n
Explaining to me how worried he was about the dog I was persuaded (it didn\u2019t take much) and today we bought a camper van; not the kind of van you\u2019d expect me to have, a 1968, rusty and romantic VW but a brand new sleek and soulless Mercedes. It won\u2019t be ready until September but that\u2019s fine because nor will we. Our 3 day drive across Europe will now be a couple of months of exploring. \u00a0I am beside myself with excitement!<\/p>\n
The van is called Marco Polo but as it\u2019s a German van I\u2019m going to call him Kurt, knit him some bunting and get him a soul. \u00a0He is our first ever Anniversary present!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
