So we're going back to London tomorrow, starting our journey with the proasic coach to Victoria! We're flying early on Sunday and until then doing some last minute errands (collecting sunglasses, commandeering TV's and buying sunscreen) and seeing a few people.

Our first week in Wales went by very fast as we've been busy tying up the loose ends of London life and getting stuff together for the trip. I've had to search through our mound of possessions in the garage a few thousand times, I thought I'd packed up quite logically, but no! In between various stints of boozing with friends, family and the neighbours we've mostly organised ourselves a car, 1/2 re-arranged Mum's new kitchen and Matt's dug four times his weight in rocks out of the garden.

So now, the rucksack are mostly packed, the ferrets have been dropped at the cattery and I've got a new haircut. All ready to go!

I'm off to boil beetroot for tea (no idea, don't ask) cos you don't want news from Wales!
