… and as long as I don’t get held up and then the ovens are working properly, dinner should be okay, all is chopped and ready to cook! Managed to gather everything together and pack today as well as have a nice time with the children doing various things along the way. Well, I’ve probably forgotten something but never mind. OH yes, it does matter – the wine! I’ll go and pack it now!!
Feels really weird to be just taking Josiah to a home ed camp rather than all three children, but the girls are looking forward to organising Steve/the household while we’re away 
Have a safe journey, and hopefully see you, though Hannah being remarkably unenthusiastic. I thought she would jump at the chance of visiting, hadn’t really thought before that Melrose meant a certain set of people (duh, I know) to her. I’ll text you.
Drive carefully! I’m sure you’ll have a lovely time. I liked going there and feel sad every year that I can’t go.
Never forget the wine!! Have fun!
have a great week – blog for us won’t you?
