Packing up in Sunny Manchester

semi-overcast 18 °C

Welcome to Alison and Neil's very own web page.

We thought that this would be the best way in which to keep all our friends and family up to date with where we are and what we are doing. So add this page to your favourites!

We will try and keep the page as up to date as possible and keep you all on the edge of your seats with our Round the World adventure. It will also double up as a travel dairy - Bill Bryson move over.

So here we are in sunny Manchester with just 3 weeks before we have to move out of the house. This week we will start packing up the house and putting away all those lovely wedding presents that we have been given, for at least 6 months.

Alison has nearly completed the 4th draft of her packing list and is now trimming it down in order to get it into her 55 litre backpack! Neil is "breaking in" his new trail shoes. We have acquired our new home (a 2 man tent) courtesy of Dave and have had a lesson in how to put it together. So looks like we are nearly ready to rock and roll. Bye bye to those 15 hour days, the really really hard sums, the almost autistic preoccupation with punctuality, the hair straighteners, and "Hello" SPF 15, learning how to surf, flip flops, missing ferry's and fuzzy fuzzy hair.

For the record - today is the day that Claire starts her Police Training - good luck Jarrett!!
