Well, we arrived safely, after a gruelling 24 hour journey through UK, France, Holland Belgium, Germany, Austria, Slovenia and into Hungary. Steve drove like a star for 19 bloody hours without a single moan (Amazing!) Roly slept most of the way, such a good boy........ but then blew it all by hurting his leg on our first morning by jumping from a sofa onto the slippery parquet flooring and tearing ligaments or something making him a cripple and in pain.
Our wonderful Hungarian neighbours had lit fires and switched the boiler on for us on our arrival, so all was well.
Will try to post more later but we are battling for internet at moment.................

Packing and funerals...
Well, this is my first post on the blog...looks like our lorry is going via Belgium to drop off my friends stuff over there and then he should arrive sometime Friday for the big trek to Hungary.
It is with sadness that we must attend the funeral on Monday of the dear old lady that lived in our house in Hungary before us, we will have been over there for two days so no pressure really, will be a very sad affair, as she was much loved.
Our house in blighty is now almost packed and the garage is full with boxes etc, where did a this crap come from?...still it's going to be like xmas when we start unpacking...
Great adventure starts shortly, watch this space.

Two Weeks to Go!
Everyone has mentioned that the easiest way to communicate our progress would be to create a blog! Be patient as I am new to this blogging stuff.
We have two weeks left to go, I have eight shifts left to work..............................
The house is in a kind of organised turmoil at the moment, we have managed to crowbar the youngest son and all of his goods out, and not before time. I'll say no more on this subject.
Steve and I have moved into the spare room, and Steve is trying to dismantle our King size bed, without tools, which are all, already in Hungary!!!!
Roly, the old pooch, looks increasingly more concerned as boxes and suitcases get filled, he doesn't like suitcases, its always bad news for dogs!
BUT NOT THIS TIME!!!!
I keep telling him that he is comin' wiff!!!! But he lies down, generally right underfoot, eyebrows twitching in concern, watching the progress with much trepidation.
His EU passport is up-to-date, he is been jabbed, swabbed, squeezed, prodded and scanned, and deemed fit for the road trip across Europe, I spent £20 on a variety of different squeaky toys, which he is only allowed to have in the HH (Hungarian Home).
It seems as if the van is all organised, and should arrive at some point on Friday 22nd Feb 2013, we have faith..................................
We are running out of days to say good bye to people, and have had a very boozy two weeks, having drinks with neighbours, and work buddies, with no end in sight at the moment, we may need to leave the country in order to save our livers!!!!
