Here we are...

Here we are!

Sitting in bed having a lazy, restful day before our epic trip. In the last week we have socialised more than we have done in the last 2 years. We have spent time with good friends and family, we have eaten and drunk well, we have laughed and no doubt will have some tears before tonight.

Well having spent 2 months packing stuff up we were still packing when the van arrived to whisk our 86 variously sized boxes away. The house has been scrubbed and cleaned, neighbours said goodbye to and the keys handed over. We are on hotel number two of six and frankly I am looking forward to having somewhere to cook again. Eating out all the time is all very well and good but I don’t feel I have control over what I am eating and am too easily tempted, oh and obviously it costs so much more.

Tomorrow we have an early start to ensure we reach Dover by 11.30 for our 12.15 crossing to Calais, from Calais we drive down to Rouen for our fist night in France. I’m hoping to grab a few photos on my phone and maybe do a blog a day on the way down but I could fail in my intentions lol.

And so the penultimate day will be quiet and slow…
