Off we go!

Despite the van being mostly packed by last  night, our intentions of leavng by 11am slipped to 12pm - which, in the scheme of things isn't too bad.  Our first call was to drop the  dog off with Michael and Glenys at  their new house.  Otto was off on his holidays, keeping Michael company during his perfectly timed leave, and "helping" with some gardening jobs.   It was raining.    

M & G provided us with lunch, we waved a hurried goodbye to the dog (through a closed door - we didn't want him trying to come with us), and off we went - heading towards Stowmarket, and our first night in the van.
