Over the weekend we said farewell to many people with a heavy night in Basingstoke.

After boozing till the wee hours, we went for a curry and ended up getting home about 2.30am.

After going to bed at 3.45am and waking up early to continue packing, I had a headache from hell.. and the day was a real struggle.

We then went out to dinner with friends who couldn’t make it on the Basingstoke night. Once back, we spent the night at Jen’s sisters place (since our bed is now in storage!). I must say, slept like a baby!

Today, we took another van load of stuff to storage, before I went to work and Jen had millions of other jobs to do.

Now, at the end of the day… all we have to do tomorrow is sell Jen’s car, pack our suitcases, check all our documents… and hopefully relax a little…

The time is nigh!!!

Jetting off Wednesday night… so expect some piccies of a warmer climate by Friday folks..!

A very Happy Birthday to Conall!!     8Today!!

Well, life on the farm has been pretty quiet.  Si’s been working hard and I’ve been doing the odd job here and there to earn some pennies.

Si’ had a CT Scan last Wednesday and now we’re patiently waiting for his 2nd appointment with the ENT Specialist on the 10th Feb.  The steroid nose drops he’s been taking seem to be working as Simons not had a nose bleed for the last 5 days    YIPEEE

In the meantime thoughj, we’ve booked ourselves to go for a Dry Dive at the London Diving Chamber Thurs 3rd Feb to 50 meters, so we’ll be able to see if Si’s fit to dive 😀 and we’ll decompress on 100% oxygen  …which will be lovely!!

7 days and counting. The stress and tension is building up..

As I sit in our almost empty house, preparing dinner with 2 pans and even less utensils… I am still waiting for that excitement to hit. To be honest, I don’t think we will get excited until we get on the plane. So much to think about, to organise, to cancel, to pay… I don’t think we thought about the magnitude of packing up our whole house! What naive fools we are….!

Even with the doom and gloom we feel at this moment, I am positive that when we hit some hot weather and warm waters of that gorgeous island… the stress involved in getting to this point will just dissapear…. like sand through your fingers… 🙂
