Blog for days 9+10

Well, I think it’s safe to say we’ve had a tough few days.
yesterday it all got too much and Dave and I had issues. It was the first real big bust up but it was sorted by late afternoon.
The boys got a chance to play football with some local lads somewhere along the winding road to Biggar.
Dave Hulme (vw dave) and Gordon (the bloke who’s van we’re using) came out to meet us to give me a bigger steering wheel and an orange flashing light. Gordon was so lovely. He checked the oil and water just to make sure it was ok. I am looking after the van but being used to little cars obviously I don’t know it as well as he does. When they left Dave Hulme gave me the biggest hug. I really needed it. I almost burst into tears…again, in his arms. I’d really like him to be my brother…can you adopt sisters? He’s an incredible person who I’d love to stay in touch with. Gordon and Dave are both so giving. It really is a pleasure to know them!
When we got to Biggar we asked around to see if there were any b+b’s and a man called Jack offered to put us up. He was such a lovely man. He reminded me of my dad in very many ways and that got the ol’ emotions rolling. I’ve had a teary 24 hours. I rang my Dad and he couldn’t understand what I was talking about for all the tears.
I got thinking about my Mum too. This is something I try to put to the back of my mind for most of the time so that I only have to have a hardcore cry every 3 months or so…so it was about time. But this morning I wasn’t very well.
we stopped at a service station and I tried to eat a muffin…it re-appeared 10 minutes later. Niiiice. So after a day of feeling sick…I now feel….sick. Funny isn’t it?!
Dave’s got blisters all over his feet so I’ll patch him up tomorrow…got to let them air first I think.
thanks for all the comments…I look forward to them still rolling in.

Just a short one today….they’re getting smaller and smaller by the day….I’m just too too tired to give a blow by blow account of everything now.
