    There's no hiding from you GG. We're off tomorrow morning - packing almost complete, last minute panics averted.

    Fridge raid dinner was fab - two glasses of wine and a G&T and I am quite at one with the world.

    I am getting withdrawal symptoms and I've not left the UK yet :eek::eek:

    Anyway GG, nice little restoration on the cards - you need a project to keep you busy :rotfl:

    Hope you're feeling better. I'll pop along and check your diary - Mr T is busily writing all over the spreadsheet plan I did for our travels. Did I really say I was giving spreadsheets up?

    Now Froggy, Mr T says we are backpacking, and the rucksacks are full. I'll have a couple of glasses of wine for you though x x x x x
