This is just to get the ball rolling as it were.
Our aim is to have a life laundry over the next few months. Plan our year long trip through Europe. Sell or pass on to others things we need. Buy and equip a motor home. Produce a photo/video documentary of the trip.

Bonnie Kaia and Eli searching for interesting stones - then we met a man from Rochdale, Lancashire!
