We're seeing the wood!

Finally - after a week of going through clothes, documents and lists, we are finally seeing the wood!!

After a LOT of help from Lesley and Steven... our home is finally looking a lot cleaner and clearer. I think Lesley is like a hurricane - only she leaves a clean path after she's been, but they are both a blessing in disguise and have sped up the task of clearing our house of junk so much faster than we could ever. Chris' mum is also great taking the ironing off my hands - perhaps we should go away more often!

Some people can spend months or years researching and intricately planning a trip such as ours, but if we were people like that - (which would be far too organised for us in the first place), all the fun and buzz of last minute panicking would be missing. Ok, not so last minute as Chris usually is - the morning of departure, but certainly not more than the day before!!!
To be honest, only Chris and I could be mad enough to not only try to plan a year away from home, but also manage to both pass our motorcycle tests! I don't like to brag, but I'm still extremely chuffed that I passed my exam. But the idea of a motorbike will have to be put on hold until at least our year is up! Ah well still... anyone want to buy a scenic? xx
