It has been a very, very long time. The motor home was SORNed for several months. Our Viking River Cruise was cancelled. The ISU adult competition at Oberstdorf was cancelled. For many weeks, our only outings were the Swan Whisperer regular runs and trips to Lidl, all of 100 metres away.
We did go to my mother for a socially-distanced lunch in her garden and to my daughter for a birthday lunch in hers, but that was all.
And then they announced that we could travel again! So, quickly, before they could change their minds, we booked. I didn't really believe it would happen, but the motor home got loaded up - still rather a slow process as we don't yet automatically know where things live - and we set off. And now we are parked up in Watten, on our way to the French Alps. I can barely believe it!
How exciting! And you can keep a safe distance in the van.
ReplyDeleteYes, I wouldn't be happy going to a hotel as yet, but in the van it's fine!
