Wow what a blur the last few weeks in Australia were, packing and sorting, the list seemed endless but we managed to get the house cleared and our bags packed. Bosun was collected and off for his flight a few days before us. He arrived happy to see my parents and also shell shocked by the cold weather.

We arrived a week ago in the UK and we have spent that time getting the vehicle fitted with LPG and an extra house battery and also ordered many items such as snow chains, European driving kits, kitchen stuff, bedding etc. There is not much space so we are taking our time to work out what will work best and only adding items we will need.
