Back and Forth

Another update from an early morning train, this time from a very wind swept North West heading to Leeds.
As Kev readily updates me every day he has 13 days left at work and now with the slight delay on delivery we have 29 days before we set off in a van to our boat!
The closer it gets the more difficult it seems to be to believe it's really true. It is especially strange Kevin starting to say goodbye to friends. So apologies if we seem unenthusiastic, but it just seems surreal at the moment. My guilty pleasure is reading other people's sailing blogs who are already out there doing it, which is a great reminder of why we have embarked on this mad scheme!
Other news is that in the theme of other recent plan changes we are reverting back to plan A on our house sale too. After advice from our bank manager and accountant last week relating to capital in the bank with interest versus housing market plus rent, we have decided to sell our house rather than rent. So we have an agent coming on Thursday, which will be a challenge to make the house look uncluttered with all our packing at the moment. Also what looked like a few free days for Kevin between finishing work and collecting the boat has now been earmarked for decorating! It also means that we will have to be especially ruthless on our house clearing as we won't have any spare storage- so eBay it is then.
