We're off...

After a mentally and physically (for me anyway) exhausting couple of weeks, we're finally sat in the departure lounge!

I have promised to give a warts-and-all account so that we don't make people too jealous... We finally got all of our jobs out of the way, the mini was sold, banks dealt with and work finished. Unfortunately my body decided to give me some practice in surviving deli belly... I've spent many hours shivering and sweating in bed and had over 20 toilet visits in 2 days. The worrying thing is that my next meals will be Sri Lankan curries, renowned for being incredibly hot... Updates on that to follow!

We've both had a great time meeting up with friends and family over the last few months. Going away and planning who we wanted to see made us take stock of the great people in our lives and many have gone the extra mile to spend time with us. We'll miss you all and will be keeping in touch. X
