Forgive us blog readers, for we have sinned – it’s been 14 months since our last blog post…
What on Earth have we been up to, I hear you cry!
Here we are, back in Blighty, and enjoying (!) another Winter… but why?
If you’ve been with us up until now, you’ll know that we chose to return to the UK due to the deteriorating health of Tony’s Father. Things got progressively worse, and he passed away peacefully in May 2011. There was a huge amount of stuff to sort out, practically, mentally and emotionally. We found ourselves falling further and further behind with the blog, and the longer we left it, the harder it seemed to start it up again. We went through the embarrassment stage and out the other side… well actually, I’m still in the embarrassment stage, truth be told!
But life moves on, things are gradually getting sorted, we finally have most of our affairs in order, probate granted, and the house sale agreed. It’s time to pick up the blog and update you on our journey of the last year, because after all, life’s still a journey, isn’t it, even if you stay in one place? Not that we’ve been entirely static in the months that have passed, but that is another blog post…
It’s time to get back in the saddle!
So read, on dear reader, whilst we bring you up-to-date with all, or at least some, of what we’ve been up to over the past months.
We hope you enjoy the journey! 🙂
WOW, looking forward to hearing what you’re up to!
I bet you are gonna get saddle sore this month! I will be with you all the way! Btw – where did you go and what did you see? I want to know more now…
The Fledding Part one consisted of 2 months, 3,354 miles, 5 countries, 2 principalities, countless twisty turny roads and more ups and downs than you can shake a stick at! Lots more details in the story so far, and looking forward to having you with us going forward, Kerry 🙂
Thanks Yvonne. We’re looking forward to getting things up-to-date at last. Maybe we’ll know what we’re up to by then as well 😉
This is the life! But once your back on your bike since it is in order again!
I enjoy taking a break. In July I am flying back to South America to my Africa Twin.
I wish you many great experiences and good luck
Hans-Ueli Flückiger
We’re hoping to get to South America eventually, via North and Central America of course… Have a great trip in July!
Love the look of your blog by the way – I will go and have a proper look tomorrow when I am not so sleepy…
Sarah, nothing to be embarrassed about, but it’s lovely to see you back writing. Ride on!
Thanks Marion! It’s good to be back 🙂
Terrific to read what you’ve been up to, Sarah. Haven’t seen you since before the wedding but sounds as though you’ve certainly experienced life in all its fullness. Glad the dark days of loss are behind you and the future beckons – where will you be off to next, I ask myself? Can’t wait to read all about it!
At the moment the next destination is as much a mystery to us as it is to you, which is actually rather fun!
Great to hear you are back writing your blog. Look forward to hearing more about your next steps
Allison
What an journey you’re on. Sounds like you’ve had a tough year here in Blighty but you’re be off again soon. Many of us get embarrassed because we haven’t got off our backsides and followed our dreams. I’ll enjoy reading about your adventures on your bike. Jan
