The last post!

Well, this really will be our last post. Two weeks ago we put our Swiftf Escape 686, AKA "Hugo" on Ebay and after much interest, last Saturday handed him over to a lovely young family who plan to use him for weekends away as they surf their way around the wonderful Cornish coast. It was a day of mixed emotions for us, as for the first time since we returned, we spent rather a long period of time showing Steve all the details of the van, how to connect the electric hook up, how to heat the water, how to cook, how to conserve energy as much as possible and of course (crucially) it was Ed who told him how to empty the toilet cassette!!! 

All the things that we did as part of our daily routine just a few months ago have now melted away into memories. Fond memories. Very fond memories. And so we can look ahead to our future, which is an exciting challenge in itself. I will be teaching full time, the children will be starting a new school after this Easter holiday, and Ed has already started working part time. It's a complete role reversal for us as a couple, and a new start for our family. We know that we will need some time to adjust, but after all that we have experienced, nothing can phase us, and we know that as a stronger unit we can deal with it if it does. 

It's not possible to put a price on what we have done for the last 8 months. The rewards are huge. If you get the chance to do it, go on and do it! Take time out. Be yourself. Be a family. Live the life you love. Enjoy!

Thanks for reading!
