Final packing

We're in Southend, leaving the UK tomorrow for a week around France and Switzerland. Leaving Acton yesterday got a bit emotional, and I am flapping again now as we are doing the final packing - backpacks only! It is going to take me at least 5 gos of taking more and more stuff out. I imagine that once we are on the road, I will think I was very silly to pack such and such thing for which I will have no use whatsoever.

It felt so strange not to be in work today. Nice strange! We went to the seafront with Gary's parents and family from the Philippines. It's nice to think we will be seeing them again, probably sometime next month, in Cebu.

Better get back to it...
