We've done the car boot sales, sold the cars and motorbikes, handed in our resignations, had a great Bon Voyage party and now are ready to start our adventure across Europe. We would like to thank all of you who turned up on the 9th and thanx for the cards and pressies we received. We also had a leaving committee to send us on our way on the 11th, thanx to all who turned up and they were probably really surprised that we were actually ready to depart at 12.00, although we did not get away until 12.30 after saying all our goodbyes.
Now all of you who know us well know that we are the Griswalds and in true Griswald fashion we left Aberdeen and drove staight into the tail end of hurricane Katia. We holed up in Grangemouth for two days with my brother and sister in law, Ian & Ann, and then headed south on Tuesday and stayed at Keilder Forest. Only problem was when we got to the campsite the road was blocked with fallen trees, luckily there was a detour. We headed south again on Wednesday and stopped off in York for two days, not enough time in such a beautiful city. On Friday we stayed in Belper, Derbyshire and visited the only six sail tower windmill in Britain. Saturday, we have arrived at Kegworth and are parked in our friend John's back garden. Kev is out tonight on John's Stag night, watch this space for an update!
