A New Day A New Country
Portugal 22.1.16 – 24.1.16 We did dig our passports out just in case, but other than a small sign at the side of the road we wouldn’t have known we had crossed over into another country. If we’d have blinked we’d have even missed that! Valenca Do Minho Weather some rain, cloudy 12 degrees Our…
What a difference a day makes
20.1.16-21.1.16 A Corruna Day 2 Weather a whopping 16 degrees (well it reached that at 2pm in the afternoon for around an hour!!!) We enjoyed our little cycle around A Corruna that much that despite Paul spending ages re – loading the bikes on to the back of the motorhome we decided to…

Yes ok the bit around the Bay of Biscay did actually manage to wake me from my slumber but my trusty sea bands seemed to…

Paperwork and Nitty Gritty
This bit feels like work – actually I need to re-think that as I have always loved work. This bit feels hideously tedious. Its called getting our house in order and although I know there is a very large reward at the end of it I have still ended up cussing and ranting mainly at…
This time next month …….
Wow is it really only one month today until we head off for our new life? I feel we have accomplished quite a lot over the last few weeks, however the lists still seem to be getting longer rather than shorter. So far we have: Listed endless items on e bay & had a very…
6 week countdown
Well that’s it there’s no going back now – it’s really happening GULP!!! Our ferry is booked on Friday 15th January 2016. Now our trip is real I seem to be veering from excited to nervous/panicky and back again. I really want the excitement to take over, but seem to have lists coming out of…
What a “pleasant” trip
We really didn’t think we would have the time or opportunity to get away in October as we were in the middle of renovating a house to rent out that was proving more than challenging and rather than the list of jobs getting smaller week by week they seemed to be increasing as we found…
