We were early at the port, but weren’t bumped to an earlier boat, so we left Dunkirk at 10 am and reached Dover at 11:30. Now, after a quick grocery shop, we’re back at home, mostly unpacked, and the washing machine is on the first of many cycles. The mega-clean of Jones can wait for…

With only an hour to drive to Dunkirk, we felt a lot more relaxed and slept in a little, which meant even Roger Of Course I’ll Have The Large Wine Pairing Nolan didn’t feel too bad, and I (Half Size Wine Pairing Plus Swerve to Non-alcohol Pairing) felt just fine. After a final shop at…

We had an atypically slow start to the day, with a hair wash for me, and blog writing for Rog. It was nearly 10 before we were on the road, heading for the Scarisoara Ice Cave, about 3 hours away. About an hour in to our journey, we stopped for fuel, and Rog went to…

As some of you know, I was treated for my fear of heights in Amsterdam earlier this year. (If you haven’t watched the Channel 4 programme “The Fear Clinic” and are interested in the treatment, which uses beta blockers, I do recommend it.) At the end of my treatment, which was successful, I was told…
