The Labraventures of Carbón, Spanish (ex-) foster dog extraordinaire

What a regal pose.

Tu ves, you see, that is the spirit I was looking for! Si, si, that is me: regal!

Here are some more photos of my new kingdom.

Frighteningly large swans: I do not know why


A lone cow by the river: I do not know why


A doorbell: I know why, but not why ML took a photo of a boring doorbell


A river for me to swim in when I am not being king


And a closer view of my new house so you all know where to visit. What is the name of the castle? Who knows?

One more because I have no self restraint. And because all I get to do tomorrow is sit in the TARDIS for 9 hours thinking regal thoughts and trying not to have a wee until we get to Germany. Amigos, I am SO ready to land in Cornbeefwall!

Not long now

Beautiful!

Not long now

We’re spending our required night in Germany tonight and crossing tomorrow.

Very oddly we’ll be ‘camping’ on Romney March tomorrow night and then visiting @Granca early Saturday before the last big drive down to Padstow.

Carbón and I are both dead to the world tonight (it was a rough 9 hours in the car today), but still doing the happy dance inside.

and crossing tomorrow

No weather cancellations?

No weather cancellations?

We’re crossing with the Eurotunnel so (knock on wood) hopefully we’ll be fine. You never know anymore: when we left the UK it took nearly 4 hours to cross due to delays.

My guess is tomorrow will be busy as a lot of people will shift off ferry service and onto the trains.

Nothing to do but show up and take my chances!

Safe journey, hope you're not waiting around for too long!xx

[Granca]

Hope all goes well today.

 

[Joy]

Hope your journey is hassle-free. x

 

[Stacia]

Emily you are absolutely amazing. I hope you have a clear journey through the tunnel and safe journey to @Granca x

 

[Boogie]

Safe travels

And both Carbón and I are through customs and waiting to board! I planned for the storm disruption in both motorway traffic and the Eurotunnel and there was none. Not even a hiccup over the new UK visa system for. Non-Europeans. Quite unhappy looking UK border agent but as long as he waved me through I’m all good (though hopefully he starts to have a better day).

If I’d known it would be this easy I would have planned to drive through to Padstow today, but better safe than sorry. We’ll have a nice rest in Dymchurch and then on to St Merryn tomorrow!

Great news Emily and Carbon

Carbón was so cute when we got to the pet check in station in Coquelles: he knew suddenly just where we were going and his bounce came bouncing back! He was quite unhappy to leave Spain, so it was really a relief and joy for me to see. The old boy still has that puppy spirit!
