Diary Entry – 16th February 2024

Did you know you can follow us on our journey on YouTube!!

Welcome to todays diary entry! Nothing gets me giddy like a Friday even being out here and having no commute and an early finish on a Friday afternoon there is just something about Fridays that really get me over the top excited which for someone who is probably somewhat over the top any way is quite over the top. Today started as many other working days with a walk in the morning. We are doing probably 40k a week now along this sea front. Which for us considering we like sleeping and being in the motorhome is very good. Especially Mum, she is doing excellently well and is certainly increasing her speed and stuff. She has lost nearly a stone now!! I seem to be unable to lose weight, but that is probably something to do with the sweets and sometimes 2 main meals from restaurants. Apart form that i have no idea why i cannot lose weight 😉

We discussed at great length our future plans and we have now decided 100% that we are to depart from here next Friday and make our way east. Mum i am looking forward to seeing some of the places we have already seen but this time in our motorhome and at our own pace with no times set in stone but being able to wander where we want and when we want to. Although we are looking at a ferry on 29th March and a few days in Gibraltar we probably spent about 10 minutes of our planning talking about sausages and shopping in Morrisons in Gibraltar and getting some Richmond sausages on some some nice white bread with red sauce.

I have been missing English food and very much looking forward to getting a pie, some oatcakes and sausage rolls in my tummy. We will have done 5 months here by the time the end of March gets here and although i have become more cultured with food in regards to Tagines i am certainly looking forward to getting some alternative food. The food for me personally can get a bit samey so being able to access lots of other things will certainly be a treat.

We have organised a little day out on Sunday for some people on site The Babbling Brookes, Rabbit and Horse and Lyn/ Chris. I have organised Croco parc again, so those guys get to experience it but mainly for us to go and see it again. The Beef is a little bit bigger now so hopefully he should take more of it in although i can see us having to come back again in the winter to show him again. I do wonder how much he will have come on by the time we get back here in October especially with how much he has come on since being here. Before we got here he was standing but not crawling, let along zipping around like a maniac trying to run to Algeria and back. I suppose the next thing is talking. Especially if we come back here he will not remember any of these lovely old dears that have met him this time they will be delighted to see him and he will not have a clue what is going on.
