Welcome to todays diary entry! And just like that it is holiday time and i am extremely tired we are currently holed up at the Sainsburys supermarket 3 minutes down the road from Cofton. We did think about staying at Taunton Dean services but he was asleep still and for the sake of just ploughing on and getting there we decided to keep going. Although this Sainsburys is on P4N and S4S there seems to be a click and collect sticker over the motorhome sign and it doesn’t reference being allowed to stay over night here. Although, it was now 11 o’clock and i was parking here no matter what.
I wanted to be as close to Cofton as i could we even thought about staying on the over flow car park but thought that would be a bit too much for them and they wouldn’t like that so Sainsburys it was. We didn’t even leave Northwich until gone 05:30. I was fishing for an early dart but the Dodge was eager to get off as he had his parents anniversary meal so that gazumped me getting away a few hours early. Another thing today was just how hot it had been, wow, it was stifling!! It would have been bad for me but Mum had to spend the whole day in Northwich getting laundry done and getting shopping ready for our holiday.

It is mad to think that it is August tomorrow and we have been back in the UK for nearly 4 months and in a little over 2 month we are off again on another adventure to Morocco again. I am looking forward this time though to taking some time through Spain, 2nd October is the date we have earmarked and 1 month to get down there. We are also planning on doing a free convoy into Morocco and beyond. Our plan is this, because it is still a bit taboo for people and as i have found it is always the first week that is the most challenging so if we could travel down with people for a week and get them through that phase then would be great thing to do.
We would set off from Carlos or Gibraltar and then convoy to Algeciras over to Tangier Med where we would then go on to Asilah, even though we said we wouldnt go back there but knowing what i know now i think i would appreciate it more. Then make our way down the coast. There are paid for group tours but this would be a free to join and free to leave experience just us pottering along and people having the choice to join us if they wanted to or not. I cannot tell you enough about how much i hated that first few days there. Look at me now….
