Europe here we come


Sam and Debbie are finally on the road and we are



First Trip




Well Betty has made her first trip of many. A relatively sedate 5 hours from North London to Newton Abbot to stay with my Auntie Lissie. The last few weeks has been absolutely mental. We have been running around organising things and trying to get the load on Bettie down to something reasonable. As it is there is not a space left in her. But sadly we forgot the booze! However I'm sure we will be able to find some decent plonk in France. We are off tomorrow to Plymouth to catch the 15:00 ferry to Roscof where we then drive for an hour in dark and unfamiliar France to a B&B where we will be spending the first 12 days with Mick and Dena before travelling off to see my cousin Peter in Vannes. After that it is where ever Bettie takes us!.

Stay safe all and catch you on the next blog.

Sam

Hunk of junk?!?
Betty is outraged at the suggestion she is a hunk of junk. Where is the Dub love? We love her Shaz and she will take us all the way without problem. Ye of little faith ;-) Sam
