You’re such a gem Sally and thank you for making me laugh, even my hubby had a chuckle at your accidental acquisition. I was gardening yesterday and you randomly popped in to my head, you often do, I was wondering what kind of mattress you had in the van and if you’d managed to fit an Emma mattress in? Where that came from I have no idea! Anyway I hope it’s comfy. The last time I camped in France it was in a tent and EVERY night we pumped up the mattress (by foot) in the hope that the next morning we wouldn’t wake up flat on the floor. We had grounding sheets before they were ever a thing and we didn’t even know it, haha.

Can’t wait for next weeks, have an amazing time x

Hey Lesley! This is an excellent question & one Gav is delighted to answer - he found a company online that make special sizes of memory foam mattresses - it is one big main part and two ‘bolster’ edges that need to be removed when the hydraulics go up and down - & then we pop them back in. It’s a small double and is surprisingly comfy!

Omg I hear you with the foot pump mattress !! That was how we went round Oz -usually waking up with Gav totally on the ground & me on the last bit of air 😂😂

Thanks so much for reading and getting it!

Love the swimsuit story!

I reckon the lady in Newquay got her cardi from Roo's Beach, or maybe Love of Lemons https://loveoflemons.co.uk/products/josefine-mohair-cardigan-in-lemon

A great read as always Sally, it’s funny I have a very similar outfit I bought recently in Zara ☺️. I must now confess it’s not just you that shop lifts 😂 I accidentally took a baby outfit, I hooked it on my trolley and forgot about it. Have a great week and loving the holiday posts, oh btw why does IG not like holiday posts, I’m intrigued, I love seeing holiday posts it gives you so many ideas x
