Well the next 2 motnths will fly by. So much to do. The boys are going to stay in the house, so we do not have to worry about removals yet. But I am making lists of things we will need eventually.
The house that we are going to stay in for the first few month is furnished and Julia plans to load the car up with things we will need like food and clothes.
This weekend is Julia's birhtday and her mum and sister are coming up. Then next week it is our wedding anniversay. It would be nice to get a new shed before we go to the Shetlands, but I don't think we will have time

Good luck - I did something similar, not to Shetland but the Far North of Scotland, nearly 20 years ago from central London. Luton to Shetland will be quite a culture shock and a change in seasons and temperature. I still seek some warmth when it doesn't arrive at the right time of year according to my body clock!
