Renamed and ready to go.... almost

A motorhome needs a name, you can't refer to your home for the next year or so as 'the bus' or 'the van' so we have been playing with names, Cathy Cathargo was too obvious, so we went for Frieda, for freedom, until J found "Fernweh", it is German for wanderlust, and as Cathargo is a German brand it fitted perfectly! So here she is,

Fernweh

We have loaded our travel clothes and necessities into Fernweh but we have a few niggly problems to sort out with her before we go anywhere, mainly a kitchen sink that leaks, an outside gas tap that fits nothing, and the whole water system needs flushing and sterilising. Once that is all sorted we are going to take the grand children away for a couple of weeks and then meet up with their mum and dad and spend some time with them too. 

After that we will start our journey for the Big Adventure!!! 

Can we ?? YES we can

Adventure before Dementia, a witty term that always raises a smile, but how many of us are actually brave enough to ‘go for it’ take that step into the unknown, set sail and see where the wind takes you ? Not me that is for sure, I am a homebody, I like the safety and familiarity of my own four walls. I like routine. I like my home comforts. I get adventure anyway, occasionally I go to Waitrose instead of Tesco! So how come I am now selling my home, my castle, my security blanket, putting a few personal possessions into storage at my daughters, and heading of into the deep dark unknown… well .. Europe.. with my partner and our dog in a motorhome!

This Blog will be about our journey. Our Journey will begin soon, first the sale of our house.... watch this space. 

Our home for howeverlong !!!!
