Ignorance was bliss...

Less than a year ago I sold everything I owned, left my home, job, friends and family, bought a motorhome and basically just drove off to Scotland with Milo. All my anticipations were unknown. I did not know what to expect. I had little fear or doubt as I did not know what lay ahead of me. Ignorance certainly is bliss. Now I am going to travel to Ireland and I am basically scared sh**less!
What if the ferry sinks, what if Milo gets lost, what if a wheel falls off the beast, what if I run out of money, what if nobody likes me? Everyday I wake up with another what if. I know I am being ridiculous, but the more I seem to prepare for the perfect adventure the more I seem to worry about it.
Anyway to make myself feel better I spent today washing the Beast and watching videos about Ireland. I've now written myself a list of some of the things I'd like to see and experience when I get there and that has made me feel more positive.

Also today Pip and I went to Asda. On returning to the car I saw the sign that said 'trolleys will automatically stop if taken beyond the red line'. Sometimes I don't quite believe what I read is true and I like to find out for myself. Well this time it was true. Haha! we had to then carry all our shopping bags to the car. Dear Asda, I apologise for the abandoned trolley...

See Milo chilling in conservatory...



Part of my to do list...

Pip testing the red line...


What happens if you cross the red line...

      Why thank you! Yes the bench was a bit harder than the trolley :)

    Nikki, you are doing what everyone else would want to, really enjoy it. Ireland is a great place, I don't know if you will find love but I suspect you will fall in love with Ireland itself. Have a great trip. More pictures of the beast please.
