7 August 2022 – Stuart and Family Visit - Week One


2 August 2022

A rather dusty looking Tesla Model S having completed 1600 miles from Rothbury to Parcent in 32 hours.

31 July 2022

The map shows the route, and the planned stops every 2-3 hours to rest and recharge at Tesla charging stations.

1 August 2022

The family would have a picnic and rest for the 45 minutes it took to fully charge the Tesla for another 200 miles.

1 August 2022

Jack, Georgia and Chloe mostly slept whilst Stuart and Michelle took turns to drive, assisted by the auto drive.   It took 32 hours, which included the channel tunnel.   No overnight stops and less than two days for the 1600 miles is quite an achievement.

Michelle insisted that I add that SHE drove through the Paris rush hour

3 August 2022

They arrived just in time to celebrate Georgia’s eighth birthday

3 August 2022

Despite the long journey no one was too tired to enjoy the birthday party

3 August 2022

Or to make sure that everyone got equal shares of the cake – except for the birthday girl who got a double portion.

3 August 2022

It did not take long for everyone to get into the pool for some family fun

3 August 2022

Even eight year old Chloe, who could not swim when she arrived.

3 August 2022

Georgia was up for something a little more boisterous

3 August 2022

And Jack even more so, as was quite natural for an “almost sixteen year old”

3 August 2022

Within a couple of days Chloe would be jumping in at the deep end and swimming a length.

4 August 2022

Stuart and Michelle normally work from home, but the surroundings are more  relaxed here on our naya.

5 August 2022

Chloe won the evenings game of Monopoly, and insisted on a photo to prove that she did.

6 August 2022 – Family Fair Calpe

Jan and I must have shrunk since they were last here (four years ago).   Not only is Jack taller than us, but Georgia is the same size.

As soon as a camera appears Jack assume this pose of sun glasses and folded arms

Georgia tests her strength, watched by an amused grandmother.

Michelle and Chloe enjoys all the thrills of the fair

6 August 2022 – Family Fair Calpe

Jan finds someone her own size

6 August 2022 – Family Fair Calpe

Very appropriate as “Game of Thrones” is a family favourite

7 August 2022 – Aqualandia, Benidorm

Family spent the day there, but not many photos for obvious reasons (water!)
