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.
We've got so many exciting new experiences ahead of us crammed into a 7 week trip. South East Asia here we come!

Half term break = PACKED TRAINS
After a nice sleep in at Andy's, I had a bit of a travel day ahead of me.
Andy and Jai were amazing at letting me take my sweet time getting ready in the morning... They made me breakfast, coffee and a lovely little fruit smoothie. Jai had to leave for his volunteer work at a bird sanctuary, so Andy and I took our time before we went for a walk in the village.
Cheltenham where Andy lives is really charming, tiny little town ...
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.
