Unexpected pleasures, kind gestures or unplanned events.   So when we decided we wanted a Motorhome we did research on what we wanted , what we do with it etc.  One of the most informative, funny and interesting places were the online groups on Social Media .  Some sites are quite serious, but most are very helpful and very funny.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One  of the early things  we found out , was Motorhomers wave to each other.  Some with a short salute, others with an enthusiastic wave and some with a brightly coloured foam hand.  But all with a smile and a sense of  camaraderie.   Which  as would learn would be something that made us return the wave,  and it made us smile too.  A simple gesture that brought pleasure!    Soon we were counting the times ( I\u2019m sure the novalty will wear off) but it has been come A little competitive  between  us.  So imagine my disappointment, when I was driving around last week and spotted a Motorhome then waved enthusiastically at them, only to be totally ignored.  Well I thought, maybe not everyone does engage in this practice,  don\u2019t take it personally I thought, only to realise I was driving my car! ?\u200d\u2640\ufe0f. How foolish I felt, after all,  just because I was sat up high, in a chair with a raised back and arm rests,  did I think I was in Our Motorhome.  But it did make my smile, I even chuckled out loud at my stupidity!.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So folks if you happen to see a women driving a dark blue Range Rover , frantically waving at your Motorhome, please wave back because it\u2019s probably me forgetting I\u2019m not in our Motorhome Lily!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text alignwide is-stacked-on-mobile\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1170\" height=\"1118\" src=\"https:\/\/www.talesfromthisgirl.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/img_5702.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-24 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.talesfromthisgirl.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/img_5702.jpg 1170w, https:\/\/www.talesfromthisgirl.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/img_5702-300x287.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.talesfromthisgirl.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/img_5702-1024x978.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.talesfromthisgirl.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/img_5702-768x734.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.talesfromthisgirl.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/img_5702-63x60.jpg 63w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1170px) 100vw, 1170px\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<p><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.talesfromthisgirl.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/img_5704.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-29\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.talesfromthisgirl.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/img_5704.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.talesfromthisgirl.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/img_5704-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.talesfromthisgirl.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/img_5704-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.talesfromthisgirl.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/img_5704-80x60.jpg 80w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>They say that it is the simple things that make you happy, that make you smile.
