Arrived with Ali & Matt for a couple days before getting the flight from Gatwick on Saturday. Just said goodbye to the rest of the family so mixed emotions and a few tears. Looking forward to good company and conversation for the next few days before the off. Our Lovely chauffeur Ali Hinds will take us to the airport.

Well house all packed up and ready to move out tomorrow, with the help of some amazing friends and family. All our worldly goods will be in storage until we return. Currently sat watching our favorites on the TV with ice cream and jelly sweets. Then to Hannah & Mark's for a few days to say final farewells to the kids and Mother's Day a week early. Then a few hours drive down the road to Wiltshire to stay with Ali & Matt. Back packs are both packed - min...

This is all the things that need to fit into my backpack. Check out the photo album to see if they all fitted in.

Well getting quite excited now we are 4 weeks to Departure Day. Last minute preparations taking place. Practice bag pack and realising that I have too many clothes even though it only takes half of the back pack. So will have to re-think that one. Andy sorting travel insurance and putting everything in order with stuff this end. We both have 2 weeks left at work and 3 weeks until we have to move out of the house - so lots to do there too.

Just booking some of the trips and getting sorted.
