We booked it!

We are leaving the UK on the 8th August at 6.30 in the morning.  We are going through the Tunnel, we were going to travel by boat from Portsmouth to Caen, which is 5 hours but Sunny would have had to stay in the van on his own, he’s very good at destroying things when left unattended so we decided the train would be more suited to maintaining good relations all round.

I still haven’t got a loo but we are leaving the house at 6 tomorrow morning to pick up a tent that fits to the side of the van, I’m guessing I can put a bucket in there if the need is very pressing.

We haven’t actually prepared anything but I have some board games and an app with campsites on and today we bought a nice new cooker so that we don’t get the van (who seems to now be called Vanley) smelly.  I know there is a lovely cooker inside but I don’t want to go to sleep in a bed smelling of garlic and onions.

Starting to write lists now….
