Only half a day left to pack now with working away during the week, so I kept off the whisky at Burns Night last evening, well mostly. Packing is quite straightforward: since starting on the journey to becoming a Disaster Responder I have been putting likely bits of kit in a big storage crate that I keep in the corner of our bedroom. But there is of course time for some faffing and re-packing and some “shall I-shan’t I?”.

Excellent planning Phil. I hope its all going as well as it can. Polly is looking down on you proudly. We are all very proud of you. Love from Jazz, Darren and the Boys.
