Logistics... Today has been about checking my route, checking I am sending the right maps to the right places, doing some ironing for work tomorrow, and thinking about which knife to take. I don't want to be arrested for having a 'locking' pen-knife (no matter how small and harmless I look!) but I don't want to take my swiss army knife with all the unnecessary attachments.

Apart from the route, I had to check my food parcels contained the right things. I am still not convinced I will have enough to eat, but suppose a leaner, meaner version of myself might be a good thing after all! Anyway the parcels are ready now, full of 'interesting' food that I will doutless loathe within days. I think I will really miss crunching an apple and my fridge. Not to mention comfy chairs, soft beds, warm clothes, hot water, telephone signals, a glass of wine, Andrew........ Not necessarily in that order.
However, it is important to remember the whole project is about HAVING FUN.
The last photo for this day's blog is of me and my dear husband sharing a laugh on a bench (what a simple comfort!) at Downton yesterday. We used the timer on my camera - a Panasonic lumix if anyone is interested.
I have decided to take a Charles Dickens book with me. I hope I can find a really thin (in terms of thin pages) version of one of his books. My favourites would be Nicholas Nickleby or David Copperfield. There is nothing to scare me in either of those stories, and it will be like having an old friend with me. I think that matters. If anyone can recommend which one of his books I should take, with good reason, I am open to suggestions.
