Packing

Well I have officially started packing. My lounge floor has, since about March, been half covered in Lego.

Now it's not. I am allowing myself one model to keep out and not dismantle. So obviously I've chosen a big one.

It's based on

but modified so there's a bigger rear overhang on the trailer so it takes an additional car upstairs and downstairs. I've also modified the cab so it has 5 axels (2 steering), a HIAB and a flat bed section for another car.

To fill it Up I've had to keep out some other cars:

(modified to take bigger wheels so it can drive up the ramp), and the 4x4 from:

and a red crew cab version of the above 4x4.

Introduction

This is a new Blog by me which is more of a 'to do' list than a Blog.

By now you will have realised that Back 2 Blighty is because I'm coming to the end of my time on St Helena and will be returning to the UK in December. I've read that returning to the UK after working abroad is harder than moving abroad for work, mainly because it's expected to be easy and so nobody worries about it and there is no support network for the process.

So I'm going to Chronicle, well I might Chronicle... Hey I don't know what I'm going to do, but there will be words here and they may make some sense and explain what I'm doing, how I'm doing it and so on. If they don't make sense or answer the questions you're expecting to find answers to the please address complaints to: The Man On The Moon, Holiday Lodge, 17 Bracknell Street, London, Ohio, Western Atlantic, World.

So What do I intend to do? I think I have 2 main problems:

1. What Car(s) am I going to buy?
2. What am I going to drive until I buy a Car?

Lesser problems include:

1. Where am I going to park?
2. How am I going to organise Insurance?

Of course there are some other questions...

1. How am I going to get Money?
2. How do I get everything back to the UK?
3. Where am I going to Live?

That's about it, in Priority Order...
