Today my new uncle steve took me to pick up my new uncle matthew from Barnsley it was 63 miles to uncle matthews and we went in the van it turned out I would be doing lots of miles in the van lots of miles on a boat more lots of miles very fast on a motorbike and some more miles on a train that goes under the sea, the plan was that on Saturday we were getting up very early to drive 250 miles to Portsmouth to get on a uge boat that would take us all the way to a place called bilbao which uncle steve said was in spain, we set off on the boat on Saturday night and would not be getting there until Monday morning bilbao must be a very long way, from bilbao we were driving 600 miles to stay in a place called benalmadena with a nuther new uncle called joe and aunty janet, uncle steve said I would be going to gibralter and to the motorbike races at jerez de la frontera I thought we would be going home then but it turns out after a week at uncle joes I was going to france to stay at uncle harrys he has a hotel in a place called brassiere poitreveine I think that’s how you spell it it is 900 miles from uncle joes after we have stayed there for a few days we are driving 400 miles to Calais and getting a train that goes under the sea to folkstone then its 300 miles home via uncle matthews house to drop him off I am really excited now, uncle matthew is very nice, I am going to enjoy my holiday
