Nearly there!
Picked up the van (which is enormous!) Rebecca’s used to a Nissan Micra, but Piers is a professional – he used to drive an ice-cream van….
Big Chief Super Whip. Best 99 in southern England……. Van has a telly! And as we put keys in ignition, the radio is playing God Save the Queen live from Frankfurt! A good omen perhaps!
Roads were completely empty and managed to catch the second half of England/Paraguay in the service station. A GLORIOUS WIN….well a win at least which will do us for now….
On the Sea France ferry for Sweden v Trinidad and Tobago. There’s one telly and we’re the only ones watching! Are the French not interested in this World Cup at all? Meet an American who fancies the USA to surprise the tournament with its offense/defence power-play on the forty-nine yard line.
Remembered to drive this monster on the right which was a good start to our European trek…..inching closer to the action.
