Well we had a fabulous month in France over the summer. No complaints, in fact it made us more determined to get going as soon as we can.
We spent a couple of weekends getting the house ready for viewings, and it went on the market in the middle of September. A week later we had a buyer lined up who wanted to pay over the asking price to secure it. Superb! Fingers crossed it goes through OK.
So we're soon to be homeless and are making frantic plans about where we're going to live for the next couple of months. As much as we'd like to take off immediately, there doesn't seem a lot of point going in the middle of winter!
We now plan to be away for two years, but we'll be coming back to the UK each Christmas, and for weddings etc.
We've still to decide where to go exactly! We have a pile of guide books to read and are doing a lot of research at the moment. If we go in February next year we're trying to work out whether to head south, or to head north and reach Norway and Finland for the height of the summer there.
Still plenty of time to decide - first thing's first - we need to pack the house up and put it into storage!
