Days to go

Well come Sunday it will be our last Car Boot, so what doesn't sell then will either be given to a charity shop or dumped. I think  a sign on the car stating MAKE ME AN OFFER, ALL THINGS TO GO should generate some action.



The rail tickets are booked for my trip to collect the RV and with the good help of Trevor we will be heading our new home back to South Wales in twenty days time.
Next week will be clear everything out week, we'll be organising stuff to go to my daughters, chasing documents and notifying people of our change of address.
Telephone and TV to be disconnected, gas and electric companies to be notified of our departure, thank god Kay has a written list of all those we need to inform even then we seem to find another person or company we need to notify.

Looking at the weather I'm keeping my fingers crossed that all will go to plan, trust us to have the worst winter weather for 17 years and its come at the time we least want it.
Its just our luck, we travelled to Austria for Christmas one year and guess what? it was the first winter that it hadn't snowed for 39 years!

We are looking forward to the day (hopefully at the end of January or beginning of February) that we can start the engine and head out on our big adventure.

The work and planning we have had to do to get to this stage has been daunting, the ups and downs, the waiting and frustration.
It has been surprising what reaction we've had from people when we've informed them of our plans to sell up everything and head out travelling to see more of the world. They have reacted with 'I wish we could do that' or 'its something we would love to do' or have wanted to do.
Its a dream for some, but if you want it you have to go out and grab it, life's to short to just keep wishing or dreaming, we all dream of winning the lottery but unless you buy a ticket there's no chance.
I just hope that all goes to plan and soon we will be on the road and visiting all the places we have dreamed of going to.

Off into the sunset.
