The Curious Adventures of the Cat in the Camper Van
Our motorhome travelling adventures around the world with a cat called Jigsaw
Writing this while on our last days of this epic adventure, with the sun going down on the trip and our thoughts riddled with 'darn it, we've got to go home and build a house' we've naturally done a lot of reflecting.
