It's was a very wintry scene in Bristol last week and our poor van disappeared under a blanket of snow. We also discovered that we have a broken heating and water system, and a leek on the boiler. All in all a very cold week! Fingers crossed it will be easy to fix, I have to take the van to a specialist in Taunton next week to find out. I really hope that its just in need of a service and nothing more serious but it is 10 years old and I have a nasty feeling we may need a new one. We are cutting things a little fine as we have just over two weeks left before we leave the flat!
We move out of here on the 1st of March, have about 2 weeks in the UK catching up with family and getting used to life in the van before heading off to France in mid march. I am really looking forward to revisiting some old haunts in France as I haven't been for a long time. We plan to start at Le Mont St Michelle and then head south and west into Brittany and back along the Loire. The direction from there is a little hazy at the moment but probably Holland to see the tulips and on into Eastern Europe and the Baltic.
The flat is a state of organised chaos, boxes and lists everywhere. There's not a lot more we can do until the last week when we can pack up everything else. This weekend we plan to finish fixing the bikes and I need to finish my sewing marathon (seat covers, curtains, blinds - I know!). I also have to say good by to the allotment which will be sad, but hey we will get a garden when we get back .
So all in all every thing is going very well and am beginning to get very excited. Europe here we come.
