3 dogs, 2 humans, 1 van, touring around Europe sniffing out adventures
Apologies for the delay, I’ve been out of sorts and had fallen behind. All caught up now, hope you enjoy xxx 190 – Pyramids in the clouds and a drip feed of chocolate in Milan Never before have our lives been so revolved around the weather. We have waterproofs and can cope with the rain …
