Of COURSE Ivy pulled to the left! Look who's driving! :-) Nice cliffhanger; I hope it was nothing major.

Fascinating account, brilliantly told Paula. The photographs are for a large book. Absolutely extraordinary. Safe onward journey and thank you for sharing. Very best, Fiona x

I think I’ll now call you The Intrepids (cf The Incredibles) and picture you both with superhero capes….. hope wherever you go next has lots of fresh green veg! Very moving to see all the ancient library spaces, but also to realise that so many are being lost.

Haha. 🦸🏻‍♀️🦸🏻‍♂️

If you ever get to meet us you’ll find us wanting in the cape department, I can assure you! We did manage to find veg but in some places the choices were pretty limited.

Incredible once in a lifetime journey. Now I am worrying about your diet as well as the roads! (You can tell why I chose the south of France!) Hope the clanking sound wasn’t too big a problem and Ivy restored to full health, drinking anything like myself x

Jeez Gary, I seem to be writing you an ever-growing list of worries 😆. It’s okay, we are eating our greens. Don’t fancy Mauritania for your next relocation then?
