Well, the time has almost come to pack up the bus and set off for our 6 week trip to Europe. We have had great fun planning the route and converting the bus and I can hardly believe that the time has almost arrived to set off. In exactly one weeks time we will be staying on the first of many camp sites - the first is in Kent so that I can have chance to catch up with my lovely friend Ruth from Wateringbury. The following day will see us hopefully arriving safely in France in time for Dinner!
I found a wonderful site written by a chap called David Klyne who has made a similar journey to the one we have planned. He has included so much information and some fantastic photographs. I really am getting excited now!
I have already managed to pack the childrens things and so I just have to sort mark & myself out now as well as some food and non perishable stuff for the journey. We will be doing two house swaps whilst we are away and I've been busy trying to get the house sorted so that it is in a reasonable condition for our visitors. I'm glad I put on the description that our home is still in the process of being renovated! We only just managed to install the kitchen ceiling at 11pm last night! I suspect it will have to remain in its unplastered state until we return. I'm hoping our visitors will just appreciate that the house is clean, tidy and welcoming and that they won't focus too much on the uneven floors and dated decor of most of the rooms....
No photos in this particular post but will add some over the next couple of days now that the bus is finished.
I'm hoping to visit the lovely Katie tomorrow as she is having a bit of a sale and she has promised that there will be lovely cakes for sale in the cafe downstairs....can't think of a better way to spend an hour or two and so will be calling in on my way home from Hexham. I'll have to try not to spend too much though....
