Everyday I receive a word of the day by e-mail.

Today’s word was maudlin (meaning Overly sentimental)

This made me laugh as its the perfect way to describe what my mood has been this last week. 🙂

Emily started the adventure off last week when she flew out to Trujillo in Peru to begin her volunteer work.

You must read her blog as its just fascinating to hear about her work in the nursery and  living with mama Doris.

Geoff continues the adventure tomorrow when he flies out to Costa Rica. After spending Easter at the beach he will go on a weeks Spanish course.

While on the Spanish course he too will live with a local family, in  Sámara who will speak no English, so it will be interesting to see how he gets on 🙂

Then I finish the adventure by meeting Geoff in lima on 13th June. We shall then fly to Cusco, where we shall spend a week before meeting up with Emily to walk the Inca trail.

As you can imagine it was hard to say good bye to Geoff today, I was very emotional and feel a little sad.

But I am not unhappy as I just have so much to look forward too.

I feel blessed that I have someone as wonderful as Geoff to share my life and adventures with.

Geoff came over today to make sure my fruit tree’s were safely planted and my grass mown.

This time next week he will be in Costa Rica starting his 3 months of travel.

I am feeling very emotional about the whole thing at the moment 🙁 but trying to keep strong.

Here I am standing between my newly planted dwarf apple tree’s which should grow no higher than 1.8m.

In return for doing my garden I treated Geoff to an Indian head massage so we both got a treat today 🙂
