I'm a middle aged accounting tutor looking for my own mild adventures with my other half before it's too late..... I've taken the plunge and organised a year long sabbatical (a year with no pay!!), sold the house and my car and am ready to go :) View all posts by MandoraTheExplorer

Can’t believe how close it all is now Mandi, getting emotional for us too, I have to keep reminding myself you’ll only be gone for a year, and that we will see you again in a few months anyway. It’s good to just do what is in your heart instead of what the world expects you to sensibly do, so good luck to you both, and I’m sure you will have an amazing time. X

‘Never go on trips with anyone you do not love’ – Ernest Hemingway

So true!!

The latest update in our travelling life is that we are currently incapable…. :(

We have sold our van!! It now lives in Ireland with a new family.

We thought that we would be able to find the van we wanted relatively easily (and certainly before we were meant to leave for Scotland). However, this has not proved to be the case – much to the amusement of many of our friends and family!!

We’re still looking but refuse to over-compromise as we expect to keep the van we buy for up to 10 years – so it matters that we get the right one.

Therefore we are resigned to the fact that we will probably not get to Scotland this year and may not actually managed to get a new van until September/October time. (If the right van comes our way in the meantime though we will be off!)

We will most definitely be setting off for Europe at the beginning of November, and I will be continuing to update the blog in the meantime :)
