Out with the old, in with the new.

Our handfasting was lovely and we had a great time in Cumbria. A good practice run for traveling.

We got back to Norfolk on 4th July and since then have been counting down the days til Nepal. 9 weeks today til we fly :) So excited, cannot wait.

Anyway, we decided it was time to be brutal so we've been going through our stuff and the charity shop is going to love us because we have several bags to give them. We also had to chuck quite a bit away. Crazy how much junk you collect. We're pretty much just keeping our travel stuff (obviously), the few clothes we feel we'll wear until we go and some memorbale and important items for when (or if?) we come back. Oh and, how could I forget, several boxes of Kody's books, which Mum says she's going to get another book case for.

As well as throwing stuff, we've been buying the essentials for taking with us. Not too much more to get now, mainly sleeping bag and some kind of water purification. So our bags are both out, waiting and we get to look at them every morning and think "not long now" :D Next trip is 3rd August to the delightful travel nurse to arrange some more pin cushion time.
