The Last Post

This will most definately be the last post from overseas. There may well be additions and comments, and likely that the blog will continue in some sporadic form. But for this trip, this is the end.

Back to England, hard to think about. Only a week away now. In fact we'll be sitting on the riverside of the Thames this time next week, at Auntie Jane's. Back to jumpers, back to feeling the cold. Back to reality!

It's been great. We've been on what we can most definately say is an adventure. We've had ups and downs, good times and indifferent times. Overall it has been a trip of a lifetime. We have been places and done things that can never be forgotten, and never be repeated. From doing the 'usual' tourist traps, to living and working in Laos, from spending time with Mum and Dad just hanging out 'at home', to discovering we had a second family we never knew about on Gili Trawangan.

We have thousands of memories to match the thousands of photographs we have to bore the pants off everyone when we get home. Oh the stories we can tell, people will run a mile when they see us coming, CD's of photo's in hand and a skip in our step.

We're glad that we are coming back to the UK as summer is about to start. It would be much harder to deal with otherwise. Off to live in the country, working for Alex. It should be good, and in a way another chapter to the whole adventure that started back in July when we finally packed up and left Hull.

Hull! Now there's a one. We've heard from friends that much has changed. Which is suprising! I suppose much has changed with us in the time we have been away. It will be interesting to see friends and family.

Anyway, there you go. The end of and era. It's been great!
