One week to departure

It is now 15th April and this is a trial run to send a blog as an email direct to draft blog and it has worked! The photo is the view from our sitting room. 
We now have one week until our flight to London, so we are into 'last
minute mode' with regard to exercise, buying those small chemist items,
a few more safety pins, checking equipment, and preparing our home for
a 4 month absence.
Reading blogs of others already walking is very encouraging and we
look forward to spring flowers and weather.
We are well aware of protection from the sun (living in
Queensland), so hats, long sleeves and trousers will be de rigueur para
camino and we have plenty of sun screen and lip protection!
Are we ready? We think so. Packs may be a little heavy but there is
always the 'correo' option.
