The night before
School's out, work is on pause and the cottage industry is closed for Christmas. It's finally here after months of waiting and we're all beside ourselves with excitement.
The bags are packed (with space to spare thanks to Annette's frugal choice of clothes) and we have even managed to find room for Ellie much to Esther's relief.

Nearly there
We have finally made all the preparation for the trip. Caravan is sorted out with a new battery and extra lights for the kitchen area. Tomorrow we will take most of the clothes we have and store them away in our new drawers and cupboards. Supplies of food are on board, wine to follow.
