We will, new Passport permitting, be off on our hols this week. Pre holiday excitement never hits until the week we are leaving. The amount of forms and arrangements you have to make before going is bewildering and the rules could change at any moment! If you don’t know where to look you can easily fall foul. Our wonderful governments website is not the easiest to navigate and at times either contradicts itself or just does not work! My wonderful wife takes care of all the bookings and has diligently followed all the protocols. We nearly got caught out by the passport changes and had to read the info a number of times until it was clear. Hopefully I will be picking up my new “British blue” (more like black) one today from Peterborough. If you apply for one do not use the digital upload. No matter how good your selfie is, the software will not accept it. I found a chemist who for £6 took the picture and using the same software as the passport office, was able to check it would be acceptable. You get a code, enter it on the site and they upload from the “cloud”.
We are going for three weeks and our two cats are in for a shock as a cattery was the only practical solution to their care. I hope they will forgive us. Their grumpy enough as it is!
Stay well
