Despite the strong wind last night, Angela slept well. As usual we attracted the inconsiderate idiot. The engine on the van running for some time just before we went to bed. This morning the seagulls seemed excited, swooping and diving.
The sun briefly broke the grey cloud, a spotlight of rays clearly
visible over the Isle of Wight picking out the detail. All in all, a pleasant
last morning to our tip. Right Marge, take us home.
Eight weeks ago, we left home for Scotland. In that time the
season changed. The scenery changed. Marge has consumed nearly eight hundred
pounds worth of diesel and travelled three thousand miles. Our overnight costs
have totalled less than two hundred pounds. We consider our trip has been good
value. Now we are home it is hard to remember all the places we have visited so
look forward to trawling through the hundreds of photographs we've taken. Marge
has behaved all the time we've been away, but she does need a little bit of
TLC, including a new exhaust. As for her leaking water tank, it turned out to
be nothing too serious.
Our Scottish guide books returned to the bookshelf we now have
time to reflect. Marge has been our home for nearly two months. She has taken
us to some beautiful and interesting places. We've met interesting people,
climbed mountains, laughed, cried, rejoiced, been frustrated, frightened,
challenged and educated. We are stronger and more confident for all these
experiences. Travel certainly opens your heart, broadens your mind, fulfils
your life and creates memories.
What do you think Marge, shall we make some more memories soon?
