Struggling to regain my mojo.

I've washed my faithful campervan,

Now it's nice and clean.

I'm struggling to get Mojo back,

So we're off to the Forrest of Dean.

I still don't feel up to going on my own, even with Midge as my back-up. So we are taking Bertie the Beagle with us, together with his owner, my daughter. The weather forecast for that area isn't bad, so hopefully we will come back with our batteries fully charged. Bertie is only six months old so Midge (who is ten years old) is having to give him a few lessons in good behaviour and to show respect for his elders, but they get on fine together. My daughter and I also get on well together, for most of the time.

Bertie is a handsome boy Don and l hope you had a good day.

My mojo has left the country l think. Can't even be bothered to go and find it. Xxxx 😘😀

[Pam1952 in reply to sassy59]

Oh Sassy, bless you. That's not like you at all. Can't bear the thought of you being down in the dumps. If you need a chat any time, PM me.

You take care, and love and best wishes to you both.

You don't come across as a mojo-less person, Sassy, give a little whistle and it will be back.

[sassy59 in reply to Hidden]

Thanks Don, l will try that. Xxx 😀

Bertie really is a beautiful boy. I hope that you've had a good day and hopefully your mojo will be back very soon.

Take care. Pam XXX

He's my daughter's Posh Pup.

Lovely to hear you are on the road again Don with your new companions! Hopefully they'll keep you on the straight and narrow (or Midge will!) ...and hope Bertie is a quick learner!

Keep us posted on your travels!

Bon voyage Don.

A pretty part of the countryside, just the place for a boost of energy.

My grandparents were born and raised in the Forest, enjoy your trip in the campervan....can we have some photos if you have a moment to spare.

Best wishes

[Hidden]

Handsome boy.

[Carnival567]

Enjoy the Forest but mind the boar!

[Hidden]

Oh I will, she is my daughter after all. Only joking, I'd love to see a wild boar but I wonder what the dogs reaction would be.

Hoping against hope that your mojo will be found lurking in the forest. Even if you don't find it this weekend, you're off to a great start.

[hufferpuffer]

Have a wonderful time Son , you're sure to find that mojo while you have the best of company! Take care and stay warm! Ma xxx

[Hidden in reply to hufferpuffer]

I think I've found it Ma, here in the Forrest of Dean. Struggling to keep in touch with my new MacBook. Why I didn't stop with my old Windows laptop I've no idea. Time I started acting my age I think, sticking with the old and tested.

[hufferpuffer in reply to Hidden]

Son , I'm like that with my old glasses...the optician keeps making them too strong...they make my eyes go funny lol! I was thinking of getting a MacBook do they take a clear photograph?see you later Ma x

[Hidden in reply to hufferpuffer]

MacBooks are very different from Windows machines, some things are better, they are faster and the graphics too are better, but when you been using Windoze for as long as I have making the change is difficult.

I'm a bit like that - I can't be bothered to do anything, everything is too much effort. We caravan and bought a new one a couple weeks ago. I hope the turning point will be in a couple of weeks when we go to Yorkshire to pick it up. Even if I can't do much, having a different view from the four walls will be an improvement!

[Hidden in reply to helenlw7]

There's nowt like the sniff of the inside of a new caravan to get you going. That and Spring in the air will get you going.

[helenlw7 in reply to Hidden]

I really hope so! I'm just recovering from a bad chest infection, and have just been diagnosed with adrenal insufficiency after many years of steroid use. I just need to take a look at life from a different perspective. Enjoy the Forest of Dean - it's a beautiful area

[Hidden in reply to helenlw7]

Life is full of adjustments having to be made. I thought my son and I would be caravanning abroad when my wife died, only for him to have a stroke and die at 57. The last thing I expected was travelling around just me and my dog. I hope you soon get back to enjoying caravanning in your new van.

[helenlw7]

You never know - one day we may both be on the same caravan site!
