Thank you for all your love and kind messages for my upcoming surgery. It's much appreciated.
ITS ALL OVER FOR US..
Driving to the ferry port. Shots of the filthy bus. They’re getting their
tit together.
Cackling. The girls go off to their room. Aurora has been dumped on the bed. Lazy tells her they’re chilling all day in the room, watching tv and having a nice long nap.
So basically what they’ve been doing for the past however many weeks. They’re also having a shower and going to have food. Epic view of another ferry and wind turbines out of the window. Creepstopher, Jace and Mila arrive at the room. Jace is being very noisy.
Lazy screeches that they’re officially on the water back to England. She didn’t bother getting ready this morning because she could have a shower on the boat. Women look cute when they put their hair up in a clip but she “looks like Miss Trunchbull”. Her hair is starting to grow back. They’re on the boat for 9 hours. Lazy has never heard England called Blighty before.
Jace and Mila have gone to the girls’ room so Aurora can sleep. They’re not saving time doing the boat trip. It drops them off in Harwich but to get from their to Calais is 4 1/2 and half hour crossing on the Eurotunnel. It’s 5 hours to Dover. The pro of this ferry is they get space after driving for a week. It’s hard being in the van with chuldren. Creepstopher can reset his mind. It was soul destroying for him driving all the way to Calais last year.
Poor man(child). They’re sleeping in the van tonight and driving home tomorrow. They get off the ferry at 9:30pm and will drive two hours tonight. It annoys Lazy that it costs £20 to sleep in a service station whereas it’s free in Europe with perks and toilets. Creepstopher moans that England is backwards. Moaning about hate. People aren’t allowed an opinion these days. Mini rant from Lazy. There’s no discounts on food in England. Creepstopher is about to have a shower.
Funeral music. Window view. Aurora. TV. Sea. Lazy and Aurora. It’s a couple of hours later. Lazy and Creepstopher watched Three Men and a Baby then jumped in the shower. Now Lazy is sat watching the most beautiful sunset and most beautiful crossing ever. Lazy wants to do a cruise. Creepstopher says they were talking about a cruise to Antarctica but she says they’re not doing that.
They will because he always gets his own way. He didn’t know about the Drake Passage. Isla and Esmé told him what it is. It’s a rough and deadly part of the ocean with 800 shipwrecks. Lazy spots a jellyfish from the window. The ocean fascinates and terrifies her. There’s no land around them. They’re off to dinner. Creepstopher is gutted they’re not staying overnight. Lazy sees something black come out of the water. He says it’s a whale. She's in disbelief as it’s alone and small.
Funeral music as the kids walk to dinner. Esmé shows us her and Isla’s dinner of beef and mushroom stroganoff. Lazy has her tit out again. She has chicken pasanda and chips. Creepstopher and Isabelle are having fish and chips. The “two fooooooos” Jace and Mila are having fish fingers and Mac n cheese.
Funeral music. Everyone is in Lazy and Creepstopher’s room. Lots of shouting as he spots England. Jace is excited to see the brick house. He asks “are we sleeping in ere or what?” It feels like they’re going to another country, not England.
Funeral music as they disembark. Isabelle tells Lazy it’s Mr Potato and Hash Brown now. She is watching TikTok tales and believing them. They’ve just stopped and are a couple of hours from home. As of tomorrow morning they’ll be back home and the epic, unforgettable trip will be nothing but a memory. Isabelle says they’ve been driving home for a week and suddenly they’ll be home tomorrow.
Lazy is ready for sunshine. They have a good few weeks at home before planning for the next adventure. They’ve got lots of organising, redoing, decorating and things to sort out. They have Jace’s birthday, Easter Sunday and Isla’s birthday. Funeral music to memories of the trip.
