So, it has been amazing with friends after a short but strange spell. I guess it was part of the process of leaving and me feeling out of sorts and them adjusting to us leaving.

I am a fool sometimes.....I blame the stress of leaving!

So, we are now in an empty house and have one blanket between the 4 of us. The baby has already fallen off the bed once so must try to be more diligent. Oops. The dog looks REALLY sad and stressed but she is off to a lovely home for a couple of months while we are away. Our little boy asks if we are going to England today every day! Cute. He is very excited about everything.

The tent trailer is set up at the campground, British passports are here and Brit visa has been issued so will be here in three days. MADNESS. It is all coming together slowly. Weère off to the Rockies and heading down the US and maybe into Baja.

It has been a long and difficult few days and I feel exhausted. We both look like crap. No concealer will hide these bags. I LOOK LIKE BARRY BLOODY NORMAN!

So, farewell to all for a wee while......or just the morning which will be a mad scramble to get out of the house by 12 :ohmy:

SAD to leave HAPPY to go home. It is a big emotional roller coaster ride for me but hanging on....white knuckling it!

Best wishes to all.

Is anyone finding it difficult with relationships. I feel quite strange around our friends here right now and that we are the subject of much 'discussion'. Only one couple have truly wished us a heart felt goodbye and 'understand' why you're leaving, with others there seems to be a lot of how could you or silence. It's making me even more desperate to leave!
