The first night in Willow went really well. I had to get up twice for a wee which may mean we rethink who sleeps on the outside of the bed but it was cosy, comfy and already feels like home 🙂
Chris had already gone to work by the time we got up but we had a nice morning with Julie and the kids chatting, eating porridge and hanging out. I did some van re-organising and sorting and have already shed several things from the van into the car which we have with us until the weekend when it will go into storage. I had various paperwork and online stuff to sort as today was my payday so I paid final bills to BT and our water rates, sorted out the post redirection and other such mundane stuff.
We had lunch and then went back homeward-way as Ady had the dentist. We dropped him off and nipped to the house to collect some stuff that we’d left in the garden to go to the tip and went along to drop that off. On the way the sun was shining, the radio was on and the kids and I were singing along and I was hit with one of those waves of absolute happiness and contentment you sometimes get (well I do anyway) when all feels right with the world :).
We picked Ady up and went back for a last cup of tea with Chris and Julie and collected the van to drive the mile or so to Caz and Bid’s. They greeted us by the boys taking D&S off to play and Caz and Bid clambering in to squidge round the table with us to drink wine and toast adventure while looking at a beautiful sunset out of the window. Perfect 🙂
Fab evening followed in the house with plenty more wine, gorgeous food (lamb from the farmer across the road), chatting, laughter and general enjoyment. Davies and Scarlett have stayed in the house so Ady and I get our first night in the van alone. And we have hook up so everything is charging up 🙂
