Who we are
Hello,
we are the Towns family. I am Keith (the Dad), Debbie is my wife
and our Children are James 9 and Hazel 6 (Charlotte has now left home
and lives in the UK).
So
why this web site? Well it is a combination of many things, culminating
into one. We have always wanted to live in a warmer climate and I
love to be able to spend time with the children, but my work
always got in the way. I am an IT consultant and the wages
are quite lucrative, however even though
the threat was always there to end my contract, it kept being renewed
year after year. We made ourselves the promise that should that ever
happen, we would grasp
the opportunity to change our lives.
Well
the target to reduce the number of contractors came and my role
was one of the many to be outsourced to India. Now, this was worrying
times, we had to honour the promise we made to ourselves. Lots of late
night, heart wrenching discussions ensued.
Apart
from the concerns regarding the practicalities of touring Europe, I
had no doubt it was the right decision. Personally, I will have the
luxury of
spending time with my children while they want to be with me. I will
not be looking back when I am 60 and retired, wishing I could turn
the clock back.
Our
children are Home Educated and are the happiest, well mannered, well
behaved children you could imagine. We have people go out of their
way to approach us and say they just had to come over to tell us how
well behaved
James and Hazel
are.
I am convinced this is because of their Home Education, parental attention
and loving environment. We believe our trip together will enhance
their education and
well being.
So
here we are, we have packed everything we need into our caravan and
set out to tour Europe. This web site is our story.
