Back in the UK

The end of the season lift out saw strong winds blowing across Crazydream and we were glad to be on the hard and not trying to shelter from the 42 kts plus that blew over her that night. We hid down below with the volume turned up on the DVD to drown the noise of the wind and tried to ignore the shaking of the boat. Thankfully it was dry and the jobs went ahead as planned with time to chill a little on the last day. There was a general strike in Greece on the day before we flew home - fine we thought it won't affect us! There was in fact a back log of flights to catch up and air traffic control were working to rule. It could have been a lot worse than the five hour delay we did incure.

Back in the Uk and straight back to work, P at the hospital working on the bank in Orthopaedics and G DIYing for family and friends. The purchase of a car making life a lot easier and made us independent rather than relying on others. Hopefully the Hyundai Accent will do us as well as the Citreon, we can only wait and see - it was the right price!!

Now that we are back we have taken the plunge and booked a trip that we have been thinking about for the last 18 months. With the inheritance from P's Mum we no longer had the excuse that we couldn't afford a trip to see good friends Mads and Rick in Australia. The flights are booked, a campervan hire arranged, East coast Australia here we come!
