Start of New Year of Travelling

---

01 April 2009

We were planning to have left by now on a two month trip with the van to Greece. Unfortunately while we were away skiing in January Wendy fell over a snowy kerb while crossing a road carrying her skis and broke her leg. Thankfully the damage is now nearly healed and we hope to undertake a seven week tour around Germany starting at the end of April.

The delay in departure has meant we have enjoyed at home the unseasonably warm and sunny early spring weather and the host of daffodils and blossom.

It has also enabled us to use the van to visit Wiltshire, an area of England we have driven through before but never explored. We were blessed with fine weather for the trip. The mornings were generally dull but the weather brightened by lunchtime and gave us warm and sunny afternoons.

We left at lunchtime today and drove to the Forrest Holidays campsite at Marlborough where we stayed the night.
