The Prospect of Change in the distance

Things are beginning to happen that excite the prospect of  change and the journey ahead.We had another Skype communication with Jan at the weekend and she  told us that the  hours of daylight in Alaska are already far greater than ours but that the snow is still only gradually melting.We discussed suitable clothing for June and came to the conclusion that layers are the best option.However I may need a skirt when we attend a local Russian Orthodox Church Service. A night in a wilderness hut has been booked and a friend of Jan's is going to help us take equipment there to "survive " the night !!. ARE WE GOING ON A BEAR HUNT ? So much for these intrepid seniors with British reserve ! 

Jan belongs to a knitting club , the Soldotna Dog Club of which we are "the  honorary members from across the pond " and she and Stan work with others for a "Community Food bank " . Stan is  as a Finance  Officer for a native American Indian tribe with an interest in archeology .Both love reading .In fact we hope that we can experience both the Soldotna community life and the wilderness of the one of the National Parks .Hope my facts are correct there Jan and Stan ? Both Jan and Stan   Alaska 8 years ago and decided to stay .Both enjoy Nature as we do and will themselves be walking the Cotswold Way when they come to England .
