And we’re home! We got boosted to an early train so we were home by 9:30am with the time difference, and the sun is shining! Jones is mostly unpacked, the washing machine is on its third run, and we’re leaving the cleaning till tomorrow. Flynn has had his first shower for two months and is pleasant…

After a couple of days we got the call that Jones had been dried out, re-sealed and made good. if we’d known it was going to be so quick we’d probably have stayed in Hull. As we hadn’t I set off, solo in the little Citroen loaner. Travelling solo meant no navigator and the loaner…

We’re parked on the High Weald Landscape Trail which also happens to be next to a modern estate. The market itself…

We’d been going a bit stir crazy since our trip to Romania, so last Thursday Rog suggested a night out for my half-birthday. This is not an event usually celebrated! We drove over to Whitstable where we found a secluded car park as recommended by Park For Night. Jones was a little big but luckily…

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…
