Welcome to Julie and Steve's first attempt at blogging :)

We're off to Italy and intend to update the blog about once a week - we'll see how it goes! As we are both new to this blogging malarkey don't expect too much - it will start very basic - and may even end like that!

This first blog is about our journey to and from Italy in the summer of 2015. We leave Newhaven on the 15th April and we'll be back in a while - let's see how it goes! It feels really odd leaving just before a general election - but we've made sure that we have proxy votes on May 7th - fingers crossed they make some difference....

We've got a little bit of packing still to do tonight, but here's a pic of the van waiting to go first thing tomorrow :)

Until the next time
