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.

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

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.

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.

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”

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

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!)
