My families adventure on the road to oz via Germany

Still in a state of shock

WE are about as organised as we can be for the funeral. V was supposed to have been starting at his new unit today in Germany. But after some grovelling yesterday, he has managed to get the time off. He nows travels over on Sat (the day after the funeral). We have just both got new suits to wear, as our other stuff was looking a bit tatty.

As people are coming from all over the UK to Helensburgh to pay there respects to a wonderful lady, we offered to pick up a family friend who lives closeish to us so that she can get up.

It will be great to meet up with family members who we have not seen for a long time, just wish it was for a happier event.

The funeral is in the morning on Friday so we have to leave at about 4am . Just hope we can change at the services on route. the other night was very upsetting, i normally phone Ina up on Sunday night and for a split second i nearly dialled her number, instead i phoned my MIL up as she is still in shock her self.

The kids have been told about Ina and shed a few tears. they wont be going to the funeral as it will be too long of a day for them.My dad has kindly offered to stay at our house thursday night so we can get away, and he will get the kids to school.

We have agreed a price for the house and as we are going with 2 estate agents we have the paper work to still fill in, one of the agents is coming to take the photos tommorow. WE have agreed to put the house on the market for 6 weeks if there is no sniff of any interested in buying the house then we shall then rent the place out.
