This is it, the day we leave Devon and head off to London to join the other mad people heading off into the unknown. Julia and I have managed to get 6 months worth of stuff into our rucksacks, we could easily have taken twice as much but we have had to be realistic. The house is tidy and ready for our grown up children with their children to come and visit and 'look after' our place. It seems everyone in the village knows we are going and want to know the details so a walk around involves a lot of explanations. We have been wined and dined by our friends and so many offers of help that it just confirms how lucky we are to live in this community. For those of you who read this and don't know, we live in the village of Ashprington, in the South hams of Devon. If their is a Gods Country then this is it.
Today we catch a train from Totnes and head off to London for an overnight stay at the Double Trees Hotel at Victoria and catch a coach outside at 7.30am Sunday. Our new group then heads off for Dover before catching up with our truck, Calypso, in Belgium.
I'm just off to turn off the water and unplug the TV, hope to catch up soon.
