About this blog

Well we have finally done it! Sold the house, gave up the jobs and packed everything away (almost).

We are off to see the world! Well some of it anyhow. We don't know how long we will be but have a rough idea where we are going!

Hopefully we will see some of you in some strange, exotic place.
