Suffering from FOMO of crones ‘living their best life’ in insta-ready camper vans? Well as always mes amis, ‘Tits to the Wind!’ is here to make you feel better!
Quite hard. Especially if it's three choices..left, right or straight on. I've been known to also try the fire escape and the kitchen first before making my way back to the table nonchalantly red-faced.
As ever crone doom and triumph articulated to perfection with a great big ❤️. Absolutely fucking ace! Hilarious and heart wrenching. Love you, dug and Scottish Hairy One to bits xxx
Caffeinated to the back teeth (me) whilst unable to sleep this has your beautiful voice beaming to me as I laugh and empathise with all the shits and giggles. You’re just so bloody funny. And real. Massive love from another Crone who is convinced a van would solve world peace if only she could get her hands on one xx
Thanks so much beautiful! 🤩 Hope your festival is going well! You rock! Xxxx ha ha the van dream is still fun 😍🥰 and I have to say, we are now having an absolute blast! Xxxx
I love this piece both for its blowing apart of the whole 'van life' FOMO meme for older women, as well as your detailed and candid exploration of how your neurodivergence plays into this - funny, illuminating and REAL. So appreciated!
Great read!! Thanks for brightening up a wet British Monday morning with some lols. It's made me less sad that we sold our van this year having lovingly converting it to a spec the envy of all on insta. But sadly we could not hack the reality - and neither could the doggo who was in a constant state of high alert on the look out for her enemies - other dogs. Of which there are many on camp sites. Turns out.
We're back to a holiday rental and a secure garden... Maybe in France next year though!!
I identify with SO much of this! I suspect, without the challenges, you wouldn’t shine so brightly in other ways - or be able to create this gorgeous piece. Such a joy to read 😘
oh my!! the van door yanking of shame... what can I say? The Engineer's beloved van, Nobby, is back on the road after a year of being unwell. The Engineer and Nobby van are like ET and Elliott: if one is down, they both are. After all the initial van inadequacies, after 23 years, I was getting better at it. Door handles came off less in my hand. Doors opened and closed as intended slightly more frequently, I didn't overpack (so much) After a year off - we shall see. Thanks for the post, made me laugh out loud. And yeah, France has lots of places you can park for free in campy vans. Sounds like it is all coming together beautifully.
Hahahahaha and hahahahahahahaha and a little weep and oh my flipping flippety flip..you write so beautifully. Happy adventures to you three.
Also..I get lost going to the bathroom in restaurants and feel so embarrassed.
The shame is real isn’t it mate. I’m going to start using what 3 words ap to record where I’m sitting! Xxx
I NEVER know which way to turn when I come out. I mean, how hard can that be?!? 🙈
Quite hard. Especially if it's three choices..left, right or straight on. I've been known to also try the fire escape and the kitchen first before making my way back to the table nonchalantly red-faced.
Hahaaaahaaaaaaaaa! Thanks so much mate! 😂 Bonjour! 💚 Xxxxx
