2 weeks to go!

14 days until we go... it seems to have taken a long time to get to this point... but I think we are nearly there!

The girls are almost in single figures for school days and the grown ups aren't counting (much!).

Another progress update...

Indian Visas are nearly done. After a series of false starts David spent a frustrating morning dashing between the Visa office and work copying documents and waiting in line. Fingers crossed we are almost there with this. Lots of red tape and confusing forms to fill in and a very obscure size of photo needed (50mm x 50mm) to satisfy the entry requirements.

Dogs have had a 2 night sleepover at their holiday house and, apart from consuming their brand new bed bought half an hour before they arrived, seem to have got through the visit with no problems. This is an enormous relief! Well done boys!




We have celebrated Tiegan's 9th and Rowan's (early) 7th birthdays with a lovely party and hosted a farewell party for the grown ups! We were blessed with the weather and also are very lucky to have such lovely, generous friends who came to share our goodbyes. The "international" food and drink was plentiful, delicious and eclectic and much appreciated. Thankyou everyone! Pictures to follow!

Packing continues apace and we now have a definitive date to move out so have a deadline to work to. Our house will be looked after by a lovely family while they are waiting for their new house to be built. David has finally relented and agreed to Kwik Stix to come and move the furniture into Big Box storage for us. Steph and Mark had kindly offered the use of their horse box but this is a sweeter smelling and more efficient alternative!
