Okay, things aren’t so bad . . .  it is a beautiful spring here (mostly!), we have lovely friends looking after us and lending us their campervan (and laughing at our attempts to speak Dutch)!

We have our health, a ‘little’ wealth (well, money to buy a home – we don’t own a house at the moment!). We’re enjoying the simple stuff, we’ve just bought two bikes (two old clunkers) so we can cycle to the shops on the incredible bike-ways the Netherlands have (cars give way to bikes as they LEAVE a round-about in some places! – just try that in the UK and see what happens!).

So, life ain’t too bad.

We laugh most days (mostly at ourselves) and each day we know we are closer to finding our home.

We’ve got what it takes to find our boat, but I think it’ll take everything we’ve got – meanwhile we do enjoy life . . . we are not sure which direction we are going next, but we are on our way.

Here’s to life!
