An ode to mothers
An ode to mum
Sara and I dedicate this post to our mothers. We want to thank you for all your help, advice, and supplies... Because, as has been frequently proven true on this trip, mothers know best.
Don't worry, this isn't a passive-agressive way to ask for more travel money. Honest. I'm fine, mum. :)
Both Sara and I want to let you know that we ARE using the supplies you gave us, or forced us to take, or even covertly placed in our bags without are knowledge - I'm looking at you, Mrs. Sara's Mom!
Sara tells me that she did use that dollar store backpack you put in her bag, in the end (I saw her - it was while we were biking around Killarney). She also says that yeah, it's later, and she's thanking you now for buying her a proper raincoat (it rains in the British Isles, who knew?) On the opposite end of the weather scale, she equally thanks you for the sunscreen. :) The sun is searing when it actually peeks through the clouds.
Mum, as for you... I have been using that little shopping back that folds into a strawberry, those sturdy red shoes, those toothpick/dental floss things, as well as those other hygiene products (you know the ones). I haven't yet needed that emergency travel credit card yet, but it's a big comfort just having it in my purse, just in case, especially with the uncertainty of the past few days.
But seriously, mum, I haven't yet used that showercap. I told you so. ;) But now that I've said that, it'll probably be on my head within two days. :)
To quickly conclude... I love you mum! (Sara seconds this motion.)
