Packing, unpacking and repacking; for us it's a constant cycle, punctuated by the seasons and influenced by our whims and desires. As our regular readers are aware, we rented a flat this summer. This decision was driven by my intention to write a book and the need for a firm base. Therefore, as this short era draws to a close, I am delighted to announce that the book has been published in paperback this week. It's a guide for anyone with an interest in motorhomes and answers the questions we're asked on a regular basis. It gives information to enable a fellow traveller on their journey, drawing on our experiences over the past 12 years, which I've livened up with a few anecdotes. Of course, if you prefer an e-book it remains on sale in all formats, from a variety of retailers. More information here.
The book is called, 'The Motorhome...what you need to know, before you go'. It's available to buy from Amazon and you can also order it from a book retailer. However, as it has only just been published it won't be on all their systems yet, so be patient.
If you would like to ask your local bookstore to order you a copy the ISBN is 978-0-9929612-4-4 and is reasonably priced at £6.99.
Alongside all the excitement with the book, I keep forgetting that I'm running my first ever half marathon on Sunday. I've never done anything like this before and I'm quite nervous at the prospect. I managed to plod along for two hours last Monday and my legs started working properly again on Thursday. I keep trying to calculate if they'll have had enough recovery time after 13 miles on Sunday, to cope with a long haul flight on Wednesday, plus backpack load afterwards. Added to this heady mix is the round of farewells, which I enjoy immensely. Not the farewell part, but the excuse to socialise, and of course the side effect to this is weight gain and next to the slim framed folk of Bangladesh and the running fraternity, I'll look as though I've been inflated by a bicycle pump.
So, there we go, our news round up so far. Everyone we have spoken to about Bangladesh has an opinion but as none of them, (apart from our local curry house restauranteurs) have actually been, we're staying open minded and ready for the challenges ahead. As we're not the first, nor the last to visit, we're not pioneers by any stretch.
I'll be updating the blog when I can, so please come back soon and see how we're getting on.

A couple of weeks ago I complained at the cost of my backpack, but it has become clear that this is no ordinary backpack. Just look at all the stuff on the left, who'd have thought I'd be able to get it all in? But I did, and more! It's not even filled to the 35 litre capacity, and so as a Tardis, worth every penny.
