If we needed any encouragement to go on holiday, the grey, wet weather today was probably it. We had got everything ready for the suitcases last night and I had it packed before work this morning. I was working from home, so that meant I had time, without having to go anywhere. Usually we take two large and two small cases, but we have a slight change this year to three large cases.

Andrew was home early, having taken the afternoon off, and we had time to sort out the electricals, hand luggage and house before having tea at the normal time. Time now to relax before sleep and an early start tomorrow.
