The final countdown!


It's my last day in the UK I leave at 9.00 pm tonight! My feet have never been colder I could quite easily change my mind. It's been a weekend of emotional good byes with the worst still to come.

On Thursday Anglo Pacific came to back up all my wordly goods, they should now be on the water on their way to New Zealand. The team who came to pack my house up were fantastic but were so quick, I daren't take my shoes off in case they packed them too.

Yesterday we cleared the rest of the house out with trips to the charity shop,friends and the rubbish tip. We had a bit of an upset when we cleared out the remains of the garage...our garden patio furniture is on its way to New Zealand but unfortunately the table legs were still in the garage. I'm hoping the people who come to visit will bring our table legs with them!

We had farewell drinks with friends and family on Friday, we had a really lovely evening old and new friends came along to wish us well. Good party atmosphere but with an emotional end.

Today Harry played is last game of cricket and did the team proud...retiring on 28 runs.

I'm spending the afternoon with close family drinking champagne and wondering if I cry at the airport will they be lenient on by luggage allowance...the baggage is way over weight.

So goodbye to all my very special friends,my wonderful family and England - next blog from down under!
