Hi folks, Jay here.<\/p>\n

It was over two years and an age ago that we started this little blog. We’d no idea what we were getting ourselves into, quitting work and setting off into the unknown. The adventure turned out to be an incredible one for me, a journey which expanded the way I looked at the world and which gave me inspiration to push on for the second half of our lives. We’d no real aim when we set off, but somehow we met it. This blog helped tremendously, forcing us to look harder at the world as we wandered though it and introducing us to heaps of just wonderful people.<\/p>\n

Now we’re back in the UK and if not settled, at least stationary. We’ve found work and feel a relieved glow at the sight of cash flowing into our bank account rather than continually out of it. Christmas is almost upon us, and with it comes a steady stream of friendly faces to socialise with. It feels good to be chatting with folks, listening to their stories of old and their hopes and dreams for the future.<\/p>\n

And with all that, it’s time for me to stop writing this here blog. It’s been a ride, a blast. Ju’s yet to decide how she’ll continue to write, if at all, but that’s me done folks. It’s been cool, and one day we may well pick up where we left off. Thanks ever so much, and one last thing: if you’re teetering, if you’re thinking ‘should I?, shouldn’t I?’, there’s only one path to take, and it’s not the easy one.
