Here are some pics from earlier in the year as promised, taken on our ferrying trips to and from Suzie's University. We are so lucky - under normal non-Covid circumstances, both offspring like to come home pretty much every fortnight. Dan is happy to drive himself, plus girlfriend, - however Suzie is not interested in driving just yet. And that's ok. Unfortunately though,we have come to realise that she does not travel at all well on the bus and the train is not an option. She has had to step off the bus early on more than one occcasion. Poor Suzie, she tries so hard to stay put and not bother us. The worst time was when she disembarked in some extremely remote location and I was franticly trying to sort a local-ish taxi to get her to some sort of civilisation. My blood pressure was off the scale! Hubby and I were pulling different ways - I wanted to make sure she got to a safer place to wait for us, and he wanted to just get in the car and drive to her. I had Suzie on the one phone and some taxi driver whom I didn't know from Adam, as they say, on the other. He was actually a very nice man and he got her to a cafe, where she waited for us. Signal with Suzie only dipped a couple of times so we were able to stay connected whilst Hubby was totally focussed on getting to her in the shortest time possible! As is usually the case - once she is off the bus, she feels fine!
So before lockdown, Hubby and I were driving to collect her, and taking her back. It is undeniably quite a long drive, but the scenery is beautiful. Whilst Hubby drove, I took pics - hence some have a certain blur about them! We were so looking forward to making the journeys in his new convertible car, (that sounds overly posh and posey 😄) but obviously that was not to be this summer - and the weather has been perfect for it! Not to worry at all, as long as we all keep safe and healthy.
I have many pics, I'll probably sort through some more tomorrow.
Laters 😊
