Our close medical call
So we looked at Sadie before we went to bed to discover a red rash around her belly button. We started going into medical mode trying to determine where the closest hospital was - as we lightly rubbed it we saw it coming off and forced a confession out of her that indicated she stuck her candy cane in her belly button earlier that day. Nice.

We got some rest
Got to our house with our 17 bags with no problem. House heat was off - under 32 degrees in the house burrrr-we could see our breath - figured out how to start the boiler but slow to warm up. Waited for car to get delivered to be able to get some food and blankets for the night - got delivered two hours later - the Caldwellsicles made their way to the car to find it was delivered
on empty and it was a stick shift. Egads. Dave hasn't driven a stick since high school and certainly not with his left hand on the right side of the car on the left hand of the road in the rain and the dark after not sleeping for over 24 hours. But....we had no choice so we made our way to buy some gas (petro) then some food and blankets for the night. Put our heads down at 8 pm England time and just woke up at noon. We were pooped. Looking forward to a better day- automatic car delivered last night and we will get school uniforms today and some more essentials. All is well as the adventure comtinues!
In the above picture kel and sadie are under the pile trying to stay warm.

Driving Adventure
We both had a little practice driving on the wrong side of the car and the wrong side of the road. See a clip below.
Location - Location - Location
We thought you might appreciate knowing where we will be living exactly.
We will live in a town called Harrogate, England and Dave will work in a town called Bradford his headquarters are. Bradford is about 21 miles from Harrogate but is rumored to take over an hour to get there...we will see.
Below is a map that shows the locations and proximity to London.
