5...4....3....2....1 Takeoff

All proceeding according to plan, bags packed, technology nearly sorted house sitter in situ. all that's left is to drive to the airport an sit in the metal tube for a day........ smiles

I think Ben the dog has worked out that something is up and he's sticking to Penny like glue.

Looking forward to seeing the northern hemisphere folk again even though it's only 6 months.

The main reason for this trip is to see David ordained in Chelmsford Cathedral at the end of June, a promise we made some time ago and it's one we were determined to keep , plus it's a good opportunity to take several thousand more photos to put in the Gallerie Shiraz collection.

See you on the other side, of the world that is.......
