scattering the seeds.....

One of the hardest parts of this whole adventure, is dissecting the life that Phil and I have built together. When we first hooked up, there was nothing tying us together. Slowly, and without realising it, we started to build a bridge between our lives. This eventually became an existence where everything that effected one of us, had an impact on the other. EVERYTHING! We had friends in common, got pets together, bank accounts, a mortgage and so it went on. Then came the decision to change countries and what we needed to do to make this happen. Suddenly, there is this whole deconstructing of what we had built together.......finding new homes for our pets, clearing out the sheds of stuff, minimising the gardens, weeding out the book shelf and the list goes on. Everything is becoming 'smaller'. It's a little surreal. At the same time though, what an exciting time! We came together through adventure and travel. We stopped the travel part to see if we should be more serious about our relationship and our lives. We have done that, and now it is time to get that travel and adventurous element back in to our lives. This time though, it won't be as individuals but as a couple of mad guys on the look out for the next mountain to climb!
