The €3.75 post

The wallet has been cleared out now as we sit here in Radnage England. The result is pleasing as we don't have much spare cash floating about, just the €3.75. But sitting here now, I have just completed today's diary entry and just pondered 'Did it all happen?'
I'm not sure how the Beale family felt upon their return after a prolonged absence from the country with their children, but there is a real feeling of 'Did it all happen?' It feels now like it has never happened, a curious blend of dream and reality. I suppose if you have a go at living 'the dream', at some point you wake up and remember only bits of it. That's what it feels like now. Eurotunnel acted like a switch, and I'm guessing the British idiosyncrasies we have already come across also do their part. 
So this €3.75 has a poignancy for us for this moment. It's a reminder that we have done this, as well as a reminder of the fact that we don't have much money left. We shall have the opportunity to relive this a few times with anyone who cares to listen. In the meantime, bring on the next adventure?
