Setback before even starting...


Sunday morning, and this should be departure day. The vans should be loaded, 4 friends and cat should be ready to leave soon, but instead everything is in limbo. Unbelievable but true, yesterday, 40 mins before we were due to collect the hire van for moving my stuff, Hertz rang to say the van was 'broken'. All they had to offer us instead was something less than half the size.....much frantic rushing around, complaining and stress and distress later, and nothing was resolved, because all the van hire companies shut down at midday on Saturday until Monday at nine. A major blip, but not a complete disaster. The ferry people were very sympathetic and have let me put the bookings on indefinite hold. There is probably a solution just around the corner, and, hopefully, I will arrive next week sometime to find the new windows and shutters fitted at the front of the house, and flowers in the garden!
