First Update


Trina has very kindly set up this blog for us. We're still not sure if we know what a blog is but we hope this is working.

Attached are a couple of photographs of our house three weeks ago.
1st is the rear of the house showing the extension with no roof. 2nd is our dining room.

Flights are booked!! Yippee!!

We are leaving on 25th Feb and flying to Delhi.

Garry has been trying to do a deal through the telephone operator at the Orange call centre to buy a tuk tuk.

We are now the proud owners of a 20 foot sea container. Despite suggestions that it may not be seaworthy we have decided to store our worldy goods in it at Proccy's farm. Thanks Proccy!!
Finished work at 9.10pm on Friday - so much for being unemployed!!
