As someone else mentioned, she struggled the first night when she went on holiday last time (abroad) and then was ok the rest of the time…
I’ve sometimes felt a bit off the first night in a new place, but generally it’s just being tired after travelling etc and then I’m ok…
She has absolutely narrowed her circle down to just her and the dog, and the difference between how long she used to be away ‘camping’ and these days is just so much shorter…often comes across as all that setting up is for just an overnight…. I don’t think we really get to know or see how long she had originally planned to go camping for. She’s admitted that she often feels that it’s not right, and just bundles everything into the car in the middle of the night and drives home.
Her recent trip to Scotland seemed to be incredibly short, especially when she kept saying it had been a ten hour drive to get there….surely without a work schedule, she would have done and seen more of Scotland than she did, especially when the dog was with her, and she wasn’t missing him.
Ultimately, the persona that she had tried to create about being solo and getting away to explore and enjoy seems to now be the opposite of what she wants.
Before she got the first Ford ranger, I’m sure she went to Iceland for the brand deal to try one out etc… she was absolutely ok on that trip though wasn’t she…even without being able to take the dog with her!!!
