One More Day
After having repacked the bags for the umptieth time we are still unable to make the weight(!). We are staying with friends in Stockport; what else do you need before departing but the company of true friends who are also have the knack of making you feel at home even though all our belongings have taken over their home. The weather has been true to form showers with a smattering of sunshine.
Bill parted with his GTI yesterday' spent the morning cleaning and polishing only to have the heavens open as we arrived for the hand over. At least the rain drops made perfect globules on the bonnet thanks to my polishing. Today Bill has suffered from withdrawal symptoms but by this afternoon was seriously looking at possible purchases in Calgary .... what about the trailer tent?!
Oddly this morning we received a text message we must remember to remind everyone that we will be in a different time zone and early morning here will be more like midnight in Calgary. Alternatively the mobile will be switched off.
Tomorrow we will be in Canada the begining of our adventures, we have waited four years and three months for this and now one day seems too long............

Re: One More Day
If you are/live in Stockport your luggage is probably waterlogged. Hence the excess weight.
