Okay, so it wasn't my proudest moment. Having spent months lecturing anyone who even hinted at the prospect of foreign travel, or to that matter anyone who would listen, about the importance of checking their passport expiry date, I then discovered mine was out of date.
I hadn’t planned on going anywhere anytime soon. Terrified by Covid and the restrictions that went with it, a staycation was again on the cards. However, with the cost of holiday cottages in the UK matching and often exceeding the cost of jetting off, coupled with the bravery of those around me packing their bags for adventures and new experiences overseas plus, more importantly returning unscathed and Covid free, the decision was made. After all, school holidays were coming so it was the perfect time.
Now to the passports. ‘Just check the dates’ I’d shouted to my other half. ‘All okay but yours’ came the reply. Hilarious, but this wasn't a joke. Mine expired in May 2022. I'm still not sure where those 10 years went but true enough there, printed clearly, was the expired date.
