READY AS WE’LL EVER BE

We have spent the last week or so getting Vincent ready for traveling. Getting travel insurance (essential) and deciding on our departure and return dates for Europe (also essential for getting the travel insurance). All booked now and will update on our plans very soon, stay tuned!

We also went to lunch with Nan’s sister, our Aunty Babs. When we’re with Aunty Babs we feel closer to Nan and I think she does as well. We picked Aunty Babs from her flat and walked across town to Loch Fyne, a seafood bar and grill.

I had the privilege of pushing her wheelchair, one that I could have lost when I almost tipped Aunty Babs out. Walking across the road there was a very small curb, that was slightly larger than I realised. A slight jolt when the wheelchair stopped but all was fine, I just gave myself a heart attack!

Loch Fyne was lovely, all open and with lots of wood and white on the walls. But my favourite part was how light the huge room was. It reminded me of Kailis at Trigg Beach in Perth, and both restaurants are seafood places, and it felt like home. The food was delicious too and we had another “best we’ve ever had” moment, with the vanilla ice cream! Aunty Babs had fish and chips, just what Nan would have. I had seafood pasta, Mum had white wine mussels and Mikayla had fish pie, all got the tick of approval!

We told Aunty Babs stories about Nan and she told us about Nan when she was a child. After lunch we did a bit of shopping, walked back to Aunty Babs home almost (emphasis on almost) tipping her out of the wheelchair a second time (Chelmsford counsel really need to up their game and fix the footpaths) and spent the rest of the day at Aunty Babs flat talking, talking, talking! We can’t wait to come back and see her again in 6 months time.

But for now…drumroll please…it’s the photos you’ve all been waiting for! The photos of Vincent Van Go! We’re sorry they’ve taken so long but we wanted him looking his best! So here he is, our home on wheels! More details on the packing and preparation soon.

It’s a sad day leaving The Bells. We’re going to miss Maggy and Graham so much! We’ve felt so at home and couldn’t have been ready for this trip without their help.
