Well it is the night before I leave for Calais. All things are packed, the car is full of petrol, oil, water, tyres all checked. We've said our goodbyes to most people, places and memorable spots. Lucy has been to the Vets for her flea/tick preparation so we're ready for pet passport control. I have written 6 pages of reflection on these last 5 months and what it has been to me. I suddenly realised half way through that I have never been away like this before. Never travelled when I was younger and lived in a different country. This was my mini gap year. I am blessed and very privileged to do this and I have learnt so much about myself and about my purpose.
Leaving friends, Lynn and Tony, who have been so lovely, I decided that I was going to paint them a picture. It suddenly dawned on me what I wanted to draw. Lucy spends 50% of her time over at their house, she's in love with Sandy, the cute rescue dog, although you'd never can tell as she bosses him around. So as both LandT run an association over here called La Porte Ouverte (Open Door) they really live by that too. So I finally gave them the painting and they were chuffed to bits!! They're going to make it into a greeting card and sell it for charity in Open Door. I'm really delighted. I have my first greeting card design!
Anyway tomorrow Lucy and I have about 600 kms to Calais where we're staying over night in a doggy friendly place. Then through tunnel and back to Blighty. I'll carry on creating, writing and producing!
au revoir et à bientot xx
