So we’re nearly through the first stage of the beginning of our adventure. The house has all been packed into a crate and gone off to a port somewhere, and we’ve moved into my mum and dad’s. It’s coincided with some fantastic weather – absolutely blue skies is always a shock to me [...]
So in the last throes of getting ready to leave our home, Thomas has been poorly. He’s had a high fever for a few days, been mostly delirious (though it’s hard to tell with him!) and we’ve been hanging around the sofa a lot. He seems to be slowly on the mend, and [...]
