Thank to to all who took part in our name the bear competition on Facebook. It was a difficult decision to pick the best and he is too small to have lots of middle names!!!
...and the winner is, champagne glasses at the ready...........
Ginny - as suggested by Denise Logan. Denise has won a trip in Martha, a mutually convenient date to be chosen ( or basically as soon as Martha is ready), formal dress not required and bring your AA card!
Booking, booking, booking.........
It was Tummel Tourist travel agency at the beginning of the week, lots of paper, 2 iPads, credit card and a good since of humour.
The 2 iPads were to avoid cookies which we were told were a bad thing when booking flights etc, we normally love cookies, especially chocolate chip but we were happy to go with the advise on this occasion.
We've booked the ferry from Hull to Zeebrugge on the Wednesday. Do you know if you google Zeebrugge to get the spelling the second suggestion is for the Zeebrugge ferry disaster of 1987. Kind of glad we chose the RNLI as our charity!!!
Flights were booked back from Nice to Edinburgh via Stanstead on the Monday. Not that we are making the journey longer so we don't get back to being sensible parents too soon!!!
We then looked at accommodation, which ranges, to quote the bible from camping to swanky pants!
We are going for the camping option! Do you know how much wine and cheese we can buy for the extra expense of a hotel!!!!
At this point we realised that we can both barely speak English let alone any of the Languages of the countries we will be passing through! Belgium,Luxembourg, Germany, Switzerland, Italy, Monte Carlo and France!
Fortunately the bible has a list of 18 useful phrases in German, French and Italian. These include, I am hungry, my car broke down, can you help and I love you. I guess 'I love you' will be important to tell whoever feeds us or fixes Martha should she need it!
Remember to check in soon for more updates
