Holy smokes Clare!! Is that a fan in Meg's motorhome? And a moose pillow? I'd even travel back there 
Wow, great suggestions everyone.

Lol. It is a fan, yes. The thing is it's a really old car and it doesn't have air conditioning. When Meg was in hospital for her elbow replacement, it was a three and a half hour drive each way, including 180º round London. I was just so worried we'd get stuck in traffic in a black car in the heat. I seriously thought about replacing the car, but I couldn't afford a replacement car as well as a replacement elbow. Hence the fan. It plugs in the lighter socket and is remarkably powerful and effective. Meg likes to sit/lie directly behind it with her ears blowing back in the breeze.

Also Angel Tripawd Meg (aka The Megastar), who died in April 2023, aged 14, after seven glorious years on three, and Angel Staffies Elsie Pie and Bille. In the pawprints of giants...
