At last we've started....

Well, we finally gave up the jobs and the house and now we are tying up loose ends in readiness to start the journey.  The move to our storage unit (taken over the last few months) was successful but in order for us to get under way, we had to sell my car, our trusty trailer and organise a sleeping area for Graham's car to reside until we come back to retrieve it.  This meant a stay in a holiday cottage for a week whilst we organised things but it being the last week before the children go back to school, we had Hobson's Choice and the cottage that we ended up with unfortunately had intermittent if non existent WiFi.  Problem solved by parking up in supermarket car parks, cafes etc. but hard to do research without getting funny looks!
Cars finally all serviced and ready to go, we are all serviced and ready to go (Doctors, Dentists, Opticians, Vets etc.) but the most important thing was to buy a motorhome.  Enter Kevin the Kon Tiki.....

 

We found Kevin after much research but had to wait for his service, new MOT and more importantly his V5 to come back to us before we could move on with our journey.  This meant another weeks stay in a cottage which is down in Stratford upon Avon because it is nice and central and closer to where we eventually found Kevin.  This cottage is beautiful with a thatched roof in a little hamlet and it has WiFi.  We now have time to kill until we pick up Kevin and the nice man in the garage is also trying to move my car on for me - hopefully another box ticked.  Watch this space for the next episode....
