Bristol-Glynneath GPR-Yate-Bristol - 165 miles, Piggy Bank scabby boys transport

Bristol - Northampton - Bristol - 279 miles, taking Ben to Debbie at The Excellent Adventure Sanctuary (TEAS)

Bristol-Exeter-Swindon-Bristol - 242 Miles, part journey of Cornflake from Exeter to Debbie at TEAS

Bristol-Cardiff-Bristol (overnight) - Northampton - Bristol - 368 miles - Transporting Rose from Vardiff to Debbie at TEAS

Bristol - Glynneath GPR - Bristol - 141 miles Taking Big Dave dating and Little Dave to his fantastic forever home

That was her PB trips!

Collecting my boys and then returning them.


I have done Aberdeen to Gretna and back on three occasions in the last year.

Once to pick up Louie and then sending Patch and Sneezy to Debbie and then collecting Sneezy and Wispa.

That's a total of 1,356 miles.... Eek!
 
Er, I dashed to the mini Tesco in my pjs last night just before they shut at 11 cos I couldn't bear them having no evening veg, they only had to wait until morning but I felt guilty for forgetting, does that count?
I did get some funny looks lol

It's now roughly 1,656 miles in less than 18 months! Oh me. Did a drive of roughly 300 miles today to get Fry and Louie their new wives. I shall do a thread in the next few days. Too tired right now!

I can only imagine! Probably quite a scary thought for you.

Half of today's journey was country roads and really windy ones at that! Made for a pretty interesting journey. Scenery was stunning.... wish we'd taken our camera.

The only bad part of the journey was on the way back a silly grouse walked out in front of my car and I couldn't stop or go round it, so unfortunately I hit it. It was horrible, felt so guilty that I cried :(
 
Ermm driving to Mildenhall ( 24 miles ) and back to collect Bounty

Driving to Mildenhall and back to collect Butterscotch .. RIP :(
 
Wiltshire to Rugby to pick up Bumbles wife pigs - 8hr round trip because my car doesnt go up hills or go very fast - wiltshire - reading to pick up 3 sets of grids from B & Q to build 2 new c & C cages -

completely re-arranged house / paid council to remove furniture / stored perfectly good furniture in coal shed in order to take in daughters best friends guinea pigs with a view to re-homing them - vets trip for one of said guinea pigs costing £85 because of large lump - trip to Yate small animal rescue to donate cage - possible future trip to donate correx - special weekly trips to visit Aldi for piggy veg :))
 
And people think I'm a little soppy for wanting to go to Newcastle to pick up a guinea when I live in Liverpool. If he's the one for my girl then I'll make a day of it!

3 cheers for you for making things happen for us guinea slaves in love!
