Service Stations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

We get to see so many service stations when we travel. They are all so different both from a dog and a human perspective. It isn\u2019t often we find ones we both like. Some are much too busy for me and don\u2019t have enough grass and places to walk away from the cars. Mum hates the ones that aren\u2019t so clean and where she says she can smell the toilets long before she can see where they are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is one we both agree on in France and that is Haute Konigsberg. We always try to stop there. There is lots of room to walk around and fields around the perimeter too. We often see storks in the car park, which is fun. Yesterday we didn\u2019t really see much as it was very foggy and only 7 degrees. Mum had left our home in Switzerland in just a tee shirt as it was another lovely sunny day. She was also hot from going up and down stairs to load the car. When she got out of the car she had to put on both her sweatshirt and a coat! We didn\u2019t stay there too long as it was so cold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quiet roads<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Tuesday\u2019s are good to travel on as the roads are quieter. Mum says she gets less tired and it means the journey doesn\u2019t take too long. The crate I\u2019ve got in the new car is different somehow, although I can\u2019t say exactly why. Anyway, I spend much more time sitting up and looking out of the window. Mum likes it as she can see my head in the rear-view mirror and talks to me sometimes. We listen to lots of audio books too. We started on A Christmas Gift by Sue Moorcroft yesterday. It really is very good and we\u2019re both enjoying it very much. Mum says we should be able to finish it by the time we get home today, which is great as it means I don\u2019t miss any of it. I\u2019m going to meet the author of the book soon, which is really exciting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Homeward bound<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Now we have to do the last leg of the journey and go back to the English end of life. It\u2019s all weird really, but it will be nice to see the others when we get back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Love<\/p>\n\n\n\n
