Fast forward three years!
Mark visited Bruce in June 2022, spent two weeks “sprucing Bruce” at Mike and Pinkie’s. Three years of Covid left him feeling unloved. An MOT, service, TLC and all was well again.
Looking forward to starting our 2023 adventure in May. 
Welcome to our 2019 “Aussie Bruce” blog where we shall explore Brittany in France for 3 weeks!
Yes, it’s good to see Bruce, who is looking great, after minor health issues (alternator and water pump belt replacements required)!
Boldly and bravely he escorted us across the English Channel and eventually into countries foreign to him and us!
G’day all!
No, we haven’t gone M.I.A. – missing in action! Our Malaysia Airlines A380 touched down smoothly and safely at its intended destination, Heathrow, London!!
Making a beeline in our hire car to
“Dummer”, near Basingstoke, to reunite with “Bruce” (our motorhome) where we gave him a clean bill of health and declared him fit to travel!!
Now, a visit to UK wouldn’t be really complete until we have met royalty, preferably the Queen . . . would it!?!? After all, we’ve flown all the way from ‘Straylya (Australia) & driven 20,000km since March to boot !!.!! One should expect a royal experience . . . . or two !!? More of this later…….

Scotland was awesome…. we even participated in the “Highland Games” …… ?!?!more about this later!?
After a smooth, comfortable ferry crossing from Calais in France to Dover in UK, we drove Bruce back to London.
With lots of reasons to celebrate, Pummy’s birthday and …….. the announcement by Ryan and Sabrina of their impending TWINS…….. identical too !!!! … YES, we are all so excited …….. the champers was popped open and the party began!
Santé……..Cheers!!
Celebrating with our first glass of “champers” (true!!) as we approach the finish line of our amazing “Tour de France ….. Spain, Portugal & Germany!!!”
Yes, we arrived in München (Munich) Airport in time to collect Wonderful Whitney, then drove to a beautiful camp on a lake (Camping am Pilsensee) to relax and hear about her adventure in America !!
You may ask, “What is the population of France in 2014?” In short, A LOT!! …… 66 million and we know where they all are!!?……
Yep, they are down here with us in the South of France at the beach, in Cap d’Agde! Don’t know what the sand looked like as you couldn’t see any! Beach umbrellas and bronzed bodies everywhere! We managed to squeeze Bruce into a camping spot for one night & whilst we enjoyed the summer holiday atmosphere, we soon ventured inland again!
