Closing the circle in Henley-on-Thames

 Sunday 18/06/23

We've been rather lax with our blogging since leaving for our South Africa trip, which is now sadly in the past, but was absolutely wonderful!

Bokkie is back in the UK, in the campsite where our travels began back on a grey November in 2018.  This was our first experience (shock) of camping in Bokkie after selling our house and setting off into the relative unknown of our new life.

Now, we feel we are old hands at motorhoming (not a real word) but, unfortunate complications with registering Bokkie in France has meant we're having to sell her in the UK in order to carry on with our plans to get French residency.  It's very sad on the one hand but also very exciting to start a new phase of our journey so we'll see where the roads lead us this time.

The mercurial Muffy, loving one minute, 
teeth and claws the next. 

We've just finished a fantastic ten-day house sit in Henley for some wonderful Welsh rugby fans (hence the dog's names), and are now getting ready to look after a Kiwi cat called 'Dan Carter' in Huntingdon.  The weather has been sublime for the past week and the animals were such a pleasure, we're really missing them now that we've moved on.

No doubt about this rugby-mad families heritage...

The most loveable giant in the world.

Definitely the strangest expression on Muffy's face. 
Maybe planning her next mauling?

Hopefully we can find the perfect new owners for Bokkie and head back to France to enjoy the rest of the summer on the continent.  Watch this space for updates.
