Our little secret:
When meeting this happy travelling band people usually remark upon our organisational skills, attention to detail and ability to forward plan. Anyone who saw the Lady R and I sitting, with fingers crossed, on Tuesday morning awaiting the results of Fifi's MOT would stand in awe of our foresight and meticulosity (yes, I just made that up).
The fact that we started the trip on Monday am with a Peugeot 107 and finished Monday pm with a camper van is neither here nor there because we have a confession to make...
It is an irrefutable fact that every NASA space crew has a team of scientists to offer expert advice, each Formula 1 team has a pitstop crew, every Tour De France equip has a back up staff. We stand side by side with these greats, with our expansive one man support system. We have Mission Control.
Now on discovering their other half was disappearing for six weeks with a girl friend and her dog, some boyfriends would have labelled themselves 'Mr Abandoned' and stayed at home in a sulk. Douglas did not (much). Instead he has moulded himself into our version of expert scientist.
The future of this camper van is in his hands..
