After travelling 3645 miles (5866 kms) across Europe in our now very trusty (or should that read 'crusty') Croissant, we're currently back in Devon, recharging our batteries and brains. Next stop should be initially North Yorkshire to collect some keys, and then onwards north to Campbelltown, Kintyre, Scotland where we've taken a sit in a 17th Century cottage.
We're told it has heating, a full kitchen, and two bedrooms. There's a full cooker, a microwave, a laundry room (that works) and even a TV - complete luxury compared to the Umbrian house.
In return for keeping an eye on the place, and keeping the other 2 cottages clean and tidy for visitors, we get free rent giving us theoretically lots of spare time to do what we planned to do in Italy. Whilst we're a little behind the clock, and a little poorer, we're still on track to achieve what we set out to do!
The nearest town is Campbelltown, which is 3 miles away, where there's a couple of supermarkets, along with some other basic amenities. The postman comes daily, and of course, there's no language barrier to contend with!
Yay how exciting :)
