Life nearly on the road

I am now sitting in an Internet cafe in Hull waiting for the campervan to be ready. Bit of a mix up, seems we got up to Hull too early so now have to wait until 12.30 for the van to be ready so managed to kill an hour or so drinking coffee sitting in the sun by the canals of Hull. Certainly won't miss the coffee in the UK, but the weather has just turned summer again, a good sign we hope.

Tonight we pack up and then head off tomorrow morning for the Dover-Calais ferry. Our initial target will be Normandy (Dad, we will check out the snail farms, more research can't go astray) for a few days then up to Belgium.

It's become pretty real now, said our good byes to Lynn, Steve and family and Roger, getting pretty buzzy, will be so good just to be away now. Next blog will be from our new home...
