Under Starter’s Orders

Hi family and friends!

It’s been a while since I’ve blogged, so bear with me!

Although reluctant to agree with the previous CEO of Qantas, he probably had a point when he said Australians have forgotten how to travel and be good passengers. It feels great to be on the cusp of travelling again, but also a tad scary! My brain is certainly getting a good workout trying to sort flights, accommodation bookings, timetables etc. Pretty amazing to be able to do it all on my phone!

Our aim this time is to conquer a pocket of Scotland, venture briefly over to the Orkneys, avoid the rain in Skye, and mull over Mull.

We then meet up with our partners in crime for a little canal barging around the middle of England with a small detour into Wales.  Yes, the Awesome Foursome of John, Jenny, Grahame and myself are taking on the ducks, fisher people, pubs and locks for a third time together.

Next, catching up with friends and family in southern England will feature intermittently, along with a stint in Paris. Ooh lah lah!

So, just a few last minute things to do…..

Last minute personal grooming
Last gym class and lunch with the aqua crew
Pre-celebrating birthdays we’ll miss

And of course squeezing in as much Millie time as we can!

So, with the passport, money, credit cards and phone packed, that’s it!

It’s time to leave our safe, comfortable post Covid Australian bubble and catch up on lost time.

Europe here we come!
