I have to say, she never seems to mention anyone else having as much bother as she does getting across to the mainland. Adam came over recently, no fuss. Her other family members just seem to suck it up and get on with it if they get delayed, presumably leaving in plenty of time if they have appointments etc.
I think all this is caused because she’s terrified of leaving Adam in the house by himself, so she always wants to travel at the very latest possible time. She hates being away so is desperate to minimise the amount of time she’s not at home. It’s not as if she can’t leave the shop a day earlier, she’s just being neurotic, so it’s entirely her own fault.
I also can’t believe Ruby is being so understanding, unless Georgia has put some kind of spin on it to cast herself in a better light. I was surprised when Georgia was on about breaking it to Ruby this morning. I’d have thought at her age Ruby would have been asking all along about the details of the trip (including the travel arrangements) and so would’ve already been fully aware.
