One Sleep To Go

Well,here I am in Kirkby Stephen.Leonie and I are in our single beds watching television like Bert and Ernie off Sesame Street. We got here at about 8pm and headed straight out to The Black Bull for something to eat-recommended by our landlady Barbara. I decided to integrate myself fully into Cumbrian life by having the Cumberland sausage and mash,washed down with a pint of Cumberland ale. Start as you mean to go on,that's what I say! I have just finished repacking my daypack,my big rucksack and a holdall that will stay in the car here in Kirkby Stephen until we arrive here again next Friday. For those of you who have travelled with me before,you will be pleased to know that I have reduced the number of carrier bags I use to store my various items of clothing. The minibus picks us up at 8.30am and we should be hopefully walking by 10.30am. Given that tomorrow is our first day,I have ordered a full english breakfast for tomorrow morning.I have got to keep my strength up haven't I?!?! A big thank you to Paul and Diane and Beth,Gordon and Thomas for the good luck cards and to everyone else who has wished me luck. I look forward to receiving as many messages of support-and sarcasm-as possible as I know that they will keep me going over the next two weeks.
