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
... a hostel is annoying, because you are sick and coughing but trying not to wake the others up in your room... So being in my own room, with my own bed (and its even a double, YESSSSSS) was such a delight. Also, Aunty Edith knows of my love for Dairy Milk chocolate... So like an amazing lady that she is, she had bought me some chocolate and placed it beside the bed!!! Nom noooooom :)
Tomorrow- going to Liverpool to visit with Nanna Josie xx ...
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.
Al the bits and pieces work but we haven't got the gas heater to work, nor the fridge on gas, but we are not expecting to use them so they can wait. The fridge works well ...
