We are in Scotland. We are running around like chickens with our heads cut off trying to set up house in a country where we can’t get a bank account. This is complicated! (We will be able to get one soon… once the council decides to send us a tax bill.)

Furniture is trickling in. Luckily my wonderful Jenny helped us out by giving us some stuff to make the entry easier. Today we pick up a car hire and zip about all over town picking up things that we need. Such as brooms, mop, vacuum, toilet bowl cleaner, garbage cans… you get the drift. We need a lawn mower and getting one home on foot would suck so today is the day.

It’s beautiful here. I am having some anxious feelings but not that many considering the magnitude of what we are doing. We are just plugging right along….
