Hoorah!

A few weeks ago, just before we traveled to the UK, the application for my ‘actual’ Carte Vitale* card arrived. They were requesting my photograph, and proof of identity, to make the card. They only give you 2 weeks to return it, and the letter was dated 11 days earlier, so I knew I had to do it before we traveled. It was a bit of a scramble to get the form completed, with the proof, before we left, but we really didn’t want to do anything to jeopardise it. So we completed the night before travel, diligently checked it over, and posted it from Calais just before getting on the shuttle.

Last Friday Brian’s form arrived, so not to dally we completed it and went and posted it this morning.

When we got home, Brian emptied the post box and amazingly my card has arrived - hoorah!. What a wonderful start to the week.

I’ve waited over 3 years for this, fingers crossed Brian doesn’t have to wait too much longer either.

*Carte Vitale card allows you access to the French health system.
