Your route looks very interesting; lots of gorgeous scenery. I’m looking forward to seeing your photos. You must be getting excited!

Sunny and high of 15C today. Yesterday, thunderstorms rolled in; the temperatures plummeted and we got hail and repeated tornado warnings on our phones. We were on the road, about 50 km from home, so we couldn’t really take shelter. Made it home safely and went straight to the basement until the warnings stopped. Early start to tornado season.🌪️

I see that there is a ferry from Wexford to Bilbao, but you said you were heading to France in a week. So, I’m guessing that you’ll take the ferry to Pembroke instead (please wave to my family as you drive around Carmarthen Bay🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿) and then the Chunnel to France? But where will you cross the Pyrenees? We will all be glued to your photos on your journey.

 

Yes, I hope things settle down. We haven’t decided yet whether we’ll cancel our winter plans, but we really like the woman we rent the apartment from in Luz, so we want to give her lots of time to find another renter. We’re kicking around ideas for alternate plans if we stay here. One of my bucket list trips is the train from Toronto to Vancouver; even in the winter, I think it would be beautiful. And we wouldn’t have to swim home! Skate maybe?

Your weather there will be absolutely perfect! We have booked for next winter, but are seriously considering cancelling because of the uncertainty - fuel prices, the possibility of being stranded if the airline goes bankrupt. Since you are driving, you have a safe way home; unfortunately we can’t swim across the Atlantic. Crazy times we’re living in!

counting down the days Laurie,  could do with some heat to ease the aches and pains ,

hopefully things will have settled down by the winter and you can enjoy Portugal again ,

Its frightening to think that the shortage of aviation fuel is causing airlines to fail , heating oil is the same fuel and we bought an extra oil tank and filled it so that we will be covered for next winter ,its indeed a mad world at the moment, 

will post links to photos as we cross Europe

Sunny and warm, but the wind gusts really picked up later in the day (over 40km/h). 

Today, overcast and "not cold, but not very warm, either." 🤣

Extreme gardening season for me right now - my body is screaming at me. The rain will give me an excuse to goof off.

I think it'll be close to 18C this afternoon.

I saw goslings yesterday, so our wildlife aren't waiting for the perfect weather 🤣

They have switched our hvac system  over to air conditioning in the building so I cant even turn heat on if i wanted to. Its bone chilling cold in here. I used the oven earlier to heat up the place a bit.
