Back in the UK
The trip back to the UK was uneventful and it was somewhat disappointing to leave in a clear blue sky knowing that grey clouds would welcome us on our return to Gatwick.
Each visit to the island sets us better for the grand move next year as we meet more people and discover more places. Highlight of the trip? My wife talking to a local shepherd for the mandatory 5 minutes, to pass the "just enough Greek" test, though with the number of rakis downed, I could have given it a go as well!
The UK house is on the market and we have a buyer, so there appears to be "no going back" now. Rufus and Buffy have an appointment at the vets for their pet passports, preliminary contact with a pet travel company made and a well-known removal firm contacted for an estimate.
The next challenge is to discard all the unwanted and unneeded items of furniture, ex-gifts, treasures and all those things which would come in handy one day (i.e. never). But we have started.
