And when the rain falls, and we’re on a campsite, there is nothing (well, almost nothing) that The Man of Mystery likes to do more than rearrange his, “be prepared” kit. Or, as it has previously been pointed out, Murderer’s Kit!

#RoadTrip #TheVan #Greece

@CatherineRussell2 I hope his "KIT" is now arranged the way he aimed it to be. Hope he wore his gloves so as not to leave any finger prints. 😁😁
@CatherineRussell2 why only when it rains?
I’m going out to a Thai Restaurant, for my godsons 16th birthday.
@CatherineRussell2 it so looks like murder!! Poor man of mystery. Collecting all the bits but still looking extremely suspicious 😆. Take care both.
@CatherineRussell2 was it of any use during the “stuck van” incident last week or is it all for show?
@CatherineRussell2 Don't display that in public...he could be arrested!! 😄
@CatherineRussell2 hubby was obviously a Boy Scout, always prepared. You ought to start your own kit, corkscrew, garlic crush, miniature bottle of wine, etc
@CatherineRussell2 I did get serial killer vibes when I first saw it posted 😬 but there are YouTube video channels dedicated to EDC kit! 🫣🙄😬🤫

@CatherineRussell2
I love this. I think he's added the teflon tape as per our discussion last year and some batteries. I've not added anything to mine this year, yet.

#roadtrip #thevan #greece

@CatherineRussell2 yeah, it does a bit look like a murder kit.
@CatherineRussell2 after each trip is it added to as different issues come up? Has he a plan in case you have another Albania issue? Although that was pretty extreme.

@J3nn1ferJ MoM tells me that new additions this year are PTFE tape and the very thick rubber bands because, he says, you never know.

@CatherineRussell2 LOl, I shouldn't laugh really I'm just the same but for different things. I was known as a stationers at college, even had a hole punch. I think some of us are just born boy/girl scouts! People laugh at us until they need us.😃
@CatherineRussell2 Hope you have a cook's kit to match! What do you do whilst he's playing? Shame about the rain.
@suevickersthompson I’ve been studying a script for a zoom audition next week.

@CatherineRussell2 @suevickersthompson

That’s great a few things to look forward to. The Diplomat episode 7 ( no spoilers please from anyone)!
The guest lead you filmed a few weeks ago and now an audition on zoom.🥳

@villagecatlover @CatherineRussell2 Think the guest lead was The Diplomat.
@suevickersthompson @villagecatlover No, no dear lady. That tiny part would never be described as a guest lead.
@suevickersthompson @villagecatlover @CatherineRussell2 Just saw that brief yet essential guest performance. Brilliant, I thought. Completely unlike everything else I’ve seen you do. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 (I won’t say more to avoid spoilers.)
@CatherineRussell2 @villagecatlover Oops, sorry - haven't seen it yet so didn't realise. Will just be nice seeing you on our screens again, but the longer, the better!
@CatherineRussell2 @villagecatlover Oh goodie then, something more to look forward to!
@CatherineRussell2 Great news- fingers crossed for you. A zoom from the van will be fun - should have arranged it for the amphitheatre! Oh, just imagine that...
@suevickersthompson My recall for The Diplomat was from #TheVan in a field in #Wales!
@CatherineRussell2 Now these are the insights which would make your journals into a fascinating autobiography! And, I'd risk a bet, your father's too! Think about it!
@suevickersthompson Yes, maybe, the MoM keeps saying I should pull the journals together into some kind of show.
@CatherineRussell2 That would be a great idea - the journey of an actor. You have such a comic gift & flexible voice that you could people the stage with all those characters you've met in your journey. Don't lose that thought!
@CatherineRussell2 @suevickersthompson how exciting you have an audition. obviously you arent allowed to divulge what it is, but is it a nice big role for you to get your teeth into?
@CatherineRussell2 @suevickersthompson Were you contacted before or while you were on your trip? Either way that is great news. Good luck with the zoom. 🤞🤞🤞🤞Loved you in The DIPLOMAT.

@CatherineRussell2

@suevickersthompson

Exciting! But do you ever have trouble catching internet when traveling? Can #thevan broadcast its own wifi? We often have spotty to no WiFi when camping.

@CatherineRussell2 that is really impressive! But what’s this
@bkratz Ah, now then, interesting. I came across this #gadget while filming an episode of #HolbyCity. It’s a tool carried by #paramedics As soon as I saw it I just knew The Man of Mystery “needed” it!
@CatherineRussell2 But what for? It looks like handcuffs 😐 have the nicest of times in 🇬🇷
@bkratz It opens up into several gadgets - all to do with escaping from vehicles. Cuts safety belts, smashes windows etc. #Cars #TheVan #RoadTrip
@CatherineRussell2 wow 😮. Just so you know, I’m a gadget nerd 😉Love it. Have a nice evening…
@CatherineRussell2
I'm sure something in that neatly organized gadgets was useful during you day in Albania. Vita thinks I'm being a smartass..lol
@CatherineRussell2 are you sure it’s a Be Prepared or Murderers kit?
I see ropes, nipple clamps and padlocks………. Just saying.
