It’s 6am on the 9th May 2023 and we are just about to head over to Nashville, Tennessee
to start our epic road trip that should have been done three years ago had the world not stopped for a little thing bug called covid. A few things have changed since the road trip was first planned, the main one being that unfortunately Oscar, our son, is now coming to the second year of his university degree so can’t join us on this trip. At least that means the adults can take in all the famous Southern hospitality, the blues bars, the gin joints and whatever else we can find.
