The past two days I’ve been stuck in my virtually empty house with Mowgli because the removal men couldn’t get all our stuff on their lorries. It’s been a bit chilly and I’ve lived on cold food but Mowgli has been good company even though he’s naturally been nervous.

To break the boredom I did a few Selfies and a funny video (which when I get a stronger connection I’ll upload) but now finally today we are able to leave.

A lovely surprise happened during my sabbatical here, a very old turkish friend of mine got in touch with my family; I haven’t seen him for more than thirty years so I’m looking forward to catching up.

Meanwhile I’ll get ready to ship out; we’ll probably go about 10am and have a steady drive down to Wales. It’s 240 miles and takes about 6 hours so I guess we’ll be there for teatime. Later x
