Heavens my lovely how the devil are you?

We are on our way home from Westward Ho! where we've been on holiday. Very nice it was too.

I think you should go inter-railling next summer.

Why didn't you put this in the AMA topic?

What sort of dog do you have?

Don't know Toasty, but I am behind a yellow car, and next to a very fancy camper van.

Can I have some sweets and what are the winning lottery numbers for Tuesday.

I spy with my little eye, something beginning with M?

lifeontheroundabout · 30/08/2025 17:27

LOL, guess you're getting tired of hearing that from the backseat :-)

What is the scenery like looking out your window now, and what are you thinking about having to do when you get home.

Actually Gina, you can have some sweets, not too many though and absolutely no toffees.

Ive had two texts from the back seat:

Mum I need a wee
My toe is itchy! HELP!

Scenery is a Warburtons Lorry which is making me want toast other than that its dead boring.

Obvs, I have eleventy billion loads of washing to do, but I have arranged for a Sainsbury's delivery at 10.00 tomorrow.

How far are you away from home?

What's the weather like where you are?

What were the best things about Westward Ho!

aww bless you! traffic is moving - just slowly. Would love a cuppa 😊

I love toast, with butter and really strong marmalade. Whats your favourite toast topping?

We're about 2 hrs (or 100) miles from home.

Been raining all day - Horizontally at times. You can definitely tell that Autumn is coming, trees are starting to turn.

@Sortalike i'll send you a cuppa by Hedwig, probably get there faster 😁😁 hope you get home soon. Thank you for the lottery numbers, if I win big I'll share 🎉💐🎉

WeeAgnes · 30/08/2025 17:47

Oh bless you that sounds miserable 🙁

More questions hopefully to help you pass time!

When is the next planned wee stop?

Do you have snacks on board?

What are you listening to in the car?

lifeontheroundabout · 30/08/2025 17:48

I was going to ask you if DD had had her wee yet but it felt a little rude to inquire :-)
Now and itchy toe, now that is something that must be addressed!

What is your ETA, OP?
Hope you passed that bread wagon, I can't blame you for being hungry for toast, that would go great with a cuppa, which I am just about to pour myself, would you like a cup too? What would you like in it?

Sortalike · 30/08/2025 17:48

Whatareyoutalkingaboutnow · 30/08/2025 17:39

What were the best things about Westward Ho!

Oooh now there's a question!

There is an amazing cafe "Tea on the Green" absolutely stunning if you're in the area definitely go for tea and cake (In fact, go twice, we did)

I actually really liked it, family friendly, DD liked the arcades (obvs....) and Ice cream. DH quite liked harking back to his surfer dude days.
