Goodbye Daisy

Hello everyone!

Since our last post, we have had an enjoyable journey back home to Willington Marina, which is where we part company with Daisy. These are a few pics of the final journey….

Doing the final journey did bring about some sadness and both of us have had a bit of a ‘wobble’ , wondering whether we have made the right decision. However, we always look forward and never back and the decision has to be right for us.

We have throughly enjoyed our travels around the UK’s canal system but we are now ready to come back to our family and friends before embarking on our next adventure.

Daisy has been emptied, repaired and cleaned ready for her new owners and we have said a sad goodbye.

We now plan on spending lots of time with Dot, who has had a bit of a rough time lately, and of course our Lily (who has already slotted back into a weekly sleepover) and Aria who we hope to welcome at the end of July.

Excitingly, I have set up my own legal consultancy company called Jo Robinson Legal which I hope to launch at the end of the month, specialising in Wills, Probate, Tax & Trusts. Paul plans on being my wingman whilst enjoying his retirement doing up his motorbike and train set in the loft.

We also plan on buying a small motorhome when we have sold Daisy so that we can travel around Scotland and the other bits of the UK that we didn’t cover by water. Hopefully we will also be able to go to lots of music festivals and carry on living our lives to the full.

Zak, is also looking forward to some chill out time and is glad to be rid of his raincoat!

We would both like to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for following our adventures on Daisy Duke, it has really made the difference knowing you have been with us.

All of our pictures can be found on the gallery page, which we will keep live for the foreseeable future.

All the best,

Jo, Paul & Zak xxx

    What’s the expression… when one door closes another one opens. 🤔 and it sounds like you have a plan already rolling into place.
    You have kept us delighted in your highs & lows and I’ve loved every minute.
    I’m pleased your home so I can see you more so don’t get that campervan too quickly 🤣
    Much love xx

      Hi Liz. Ahhh that’s nice and don’t worry there’s lots to do before we go off travelling again! Will be in touch very soon!

    I’ve loved watching your journey over the past year, it’s been such a pleasure following your adventures.
    Here’s to the next exciting chapter of your life.
    I’m sure it’ll be amazing.
    My sister and hubby have had many wild camping adventures in their motorhome up in Scotland so if you need any tips please don’t hesitate to ask.
    Lots of love to you both xx 😘

      Thanks Sue! Happy to take advice re Scotland and look forward to a cuppa! Happy Birthday again 💓

    Welcome back you two, we have loved reading your regular updates about all of all your adventures on the canal system.
    I’m sure that you both have had a fantastic life experience which most of us would have loved to have tried.
    But as one door closes another one opens and no doubt you will embrace that one just as much.
    We will have to have a catch up for a few drinks when you are settled.
    One question- What is Paul going to talk about in his piece to camera from now on, not the train set?
    Xx

      Thanks Kev, what a lovely message and you get a choice – bike or train set! Will be in touch re a drink!
