On the road again

It's midnight in Manchester, England and we're watching TV round our friends' house and listening out for the sound of invading mice. Our bags are in disarray in the spare bedroom with clothes, travel adaptors and toiletries strewn about. But my little green ukulele is packed so everything else will surely fall into place. Tomorrow afternoon we will fly out to Istanbul for the first stop on our odyssey across Europe, Turkey and Georgia (the country, not the state in the USA.)

We learned to play cribbage round our friends Ian and Katherine's flat the night before we flew to Turkey. We hope to while away the long hours of boredom playing this game as we no longer have anything to talk about being married and all!
