Hello Lucy,
Hope you found a half decent engineer to fix your recent technical difficulties – all the ones I know are on holiday! Glad you have arrived safely and have started your big trip. Back in Tullyroan the two Mrs. Ds are hacking into Ryan’s computer to bring you more pearls of wisdom whether you like it or not! Your Nanny would like to explain the following about touring America in a RV:
“I remember you take your big what-you-may-call-it (motorhome) to a big park at night. There would be lots of other what-you-may-call-its (motorhomes) there- hundreds of them – it wasn’t just yourself. One night I decided I would go for a walk and off I traipsed round the forest enjoying myself.
“Then, when I wanted to go back to the others, I realised I hadn’t the foggiest notion where we were parked. You go to these places and all you can do is get lost! You see, you are meant to know the stand number you are parked on, but sure I didn’t know that!”
But don’t worry she didn’t get stuck for long – there may not have been any mobile phones or yellow panic buttons to press then but your Nanny found a solution:
“I just yelled at the top of my voice “Steeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeepheeeeen! Steeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeepheeeeeeeeen!” until he came to find me!”.
Hope you don’t find yourselves lost too often and having to holler for Stephen’s help!

Brilliant! What a legend she is!
Love the Nanny stories Marianne – keep them coming! I wonder if Nanny ever drove the big what-you-may-call-it.
