Monday, 21st September, 2015.

This is it...the final blog for Europe Trip 2015.   We arrived in Perth on Thursday afternoon, 17th September after reasonably comfortable flights and have never been happier to be home.   Our good friend Laurie collected us from the airport and drove us home and we were pleased to see both house and garden in good order.

Now that we're home and resuming 'normal' life, we are beginning to put events of the 22nd August behind us and are remembering instead the fabulous times  we've had with Boris in three fantastic European summers of touring, all the awesome places we've visited, the many wonderful people we've met, some of whom have become good friends and in more recent times, the generosity and kindness shown to us by total strangers who were sympathetic to our plight and who re-inforced our belief that, given the opportunity, most people will reveal their goodness.  I get misty eyed when I think about the amazing offers of help we received and can't finish without mentioning Mike and Marion, our wonderful friends who made life so much easier for us in the last few weeks...I don't know what we'd have done without them!

There was to have been at least one more trip with Boris but until the insurance company makes a decision we don't know what his fate will be...it's still up in the air so we can only wait to hear from them.   In the meantime, we have our gorgeous granddaughter holidaying with us from t'other side of the country and we will enjoy her company for the next week and have lots of fun times!   

We've not taken any photos lately so have chosen a few that may not have previously appeared on the blog.

Hi
Just came across your blog via Mireille and Mark's link. Hopefully you still check this occasionally and I'm wondering if I can ask you a question as we are keen to do similar trips around Europe by motorhome? My wife and I are in a similar situation to yourselves, I (also) have a British and my wife just an Australian passport. How did you get around the Schengen visa rules of only being allowed to stay for 90 days in any 180 days?
