Bokkie can't believe her luck, a huge field all to herself! It turns out she can't fit down the driveway to the house we are sitting, but the field (in spite of all the rain) is perfect for her.
A lot has happened in the last week and it's taking us a while to catch up. We traveled across on the Normandie from Caen to Portsmouth, a trip of about 5 hours. Luckily the trip was between storms and the weather on the day was perfect for travelling with a partner who get seasick. First time on a ferry for us and it all turned out to be pretty easy, although squeezing Bokkie in next to a large truck was quite nerve wracking.

Driving in the UK again took quite a lot of adjustment, the roads are so busy and the narrow access to our campsite for the night was no fun at all, Bokkie's left hand drive configuration working against us. We went to meet the owners and their dogs and then returned to the campsite with plans to take over the sit in the morning. We have three beautiful black labs to look after ranging in ages from 11 years to under a year so we are getting plenty of walking in.

We have the use of a car at this sit which makes moving around easier but I have already taken Bokkie to Poole twice to have the MOT and some repairs done - the downside of owning an older motorhome.
Our plans have changed a bit, an advantage of such a flexible lifestyle, and we have lined up a few more UK house sits - so will be staying here until the first Brittany house sit in August.
In the meantime, we are getting time to spruce up Bokkie, and enjoy seeing family and friends in the UK. We will be limiting our blogs during this time, but will keep you posted on developments....
