It was around this time last year that we were just beginning to get serious about the possibility of living in a van and travelling Europe.
4 months later, and my business is sold, van bought as well as an accidental puppy purchase, and we were on our way. Whatever caused Mark’s midlife crisis, or big life questioning, I’m so glad he threw this curve ball.
We have had an amazing year, got closer as a family, shared many adventures in 23 countries, learnt you need very little to be happy. We have too many photos, and so many happy memories.
I’m so looking forward to visiting my small band of friends back home, and seeing where 2020 takes us. Life certainly has a way of keeping you on your toes.
The highlight of our day was the relaunching of 52 Weeks for Earth. We had been collaborating with a lovely Canadian lady called Hannah to create a weekly challenge that promotes positive change and helps protect the environment. You can join at any time and it all helps 😊

And so for our final day of the year I suggest a local villages fancy dress party or vulture watching in a remote town of Casares. Mark opted for the latter and so we spent much of the day sat in the van watching the Griffin vultures ride the thermals (he went outside but it was too cold for me and Ernest so we sat up front).
As the night drew in, we followed our typical tradition of knowing we wouldn’t last the night. Played boggle, attacked the nut box and drank toffee vodka). Sure enough we were zoned by 11pm, but Happy New Year!
