One step closer

Last week we took our beloved cat (Vic) to my Mom who will be looking after her whilst we are away.  This was very sad for us; we love our cat dearly but this trip is something we have to do.  Thankfully Mom and cat get on very well (we normally plonk Vic at Mom’s when we go on holiday’s).  It is just hard for us as we can’t explain to the cat, like we can to humans, that we are going away but will come back for her.  We just hope she will still remember when we do come back.

Our London flat is also let out; we move out at the end of November and our tenant moves in.  All very fast and efficient.  This bit of income will certainly be of use next year whilst we are away and not working.

Once we do move out of the flat we will be staying at my Mom’s during December, with a short trip planned to see our very good friends Joe and Laura in Cornwall.  This should keep us busy and keep us from getting over excited.  It’s like when we were kids, waiting for Santa to come on Christmas Eve – but for us we’re waiting for 4^th January when we fly out.

Not many steps now to go.  Pretty much everything is sorted.  We have a few more bits and bobs to buy (water bottles, strap for binos, new clothes for me as nothing fits anymore LOL) but all the bigs jobs are now sorted.  We're now in the quiet before the storm.

This is our lovely cat Vic, whom we'll miss alot!!
