Lazy 5 Weeks

We've had a relaxing five weeks in Florida. Although the weathers been hot we have done some work around the house and garden so it's not been total relaxation. Also, we have travelled up to Floridas pan handle around Jacksonville and Lake City. The tent and my backpack have been sent back to Hilłeberg and Osprey (respectively) for repair. Both have been excellent and offered to take care of repairs free of charge.

We're in the process of planning our travel and trekking around North America. We're picking up a car from Las Vegas and driving/ walking through the central national parks Bryce, Zion, Arches, Grand Tetons and Yellowstone and then returning the car back to Vegas. Then off into Canada, latter back into Maine and finally catching the plane back to the UK for July. Then it's Europe by car!

It's been good speaking with so many of you over the past weeks. As you know we've had a leak in the pool, not a big deal but it's taken 3 attempts for the pool guys to resolve it, hope it's sorted now. I found a snake, dead, in the AC unit outside. It was still fresh so only died that day, had to move it before Sarah saw it. We've also done some painting including the front door. Finished putting the fence up so now the backs all done. After having the villa for nearly ten years now this year is the first time we have sorted the mail box out so we recived our first junk mail in ten years last week, how about that! Thankfully it's been the only one albeit the first mail we recived. 

We also went to see the rocket launch on 24th, little video attached but not much to see as we were 7 miles away. The wind sound you can hear from about half way through is the sonic boom reaching us from the launch site.
