The removal vans arrive at 8.15 am. |
Wednesday 13 February 2002

We haven’t quite
finished packing, having run out of boxes.
Not to worry! Everything
goes. The first van, filled with our furniture
and boxes, is ready to move soon after midday, and the second smaller van –
mainly for garage and garden equipment and stuff for disposal – soon after
that. |

Juliet in the thick of
the action. |
We leave Darkes Farm for the last time at 1 pm. |
|
|
|
As the vans depart, we realise we’ve forgotten the vacuum cleaner, so it travels
with us in the boot of the car, along with our most treasured personal
possessions. |
|
|
The loading ramp becomes an unloading ramp. |
|
Unloading is a quicker job. This time it’s we who have to decide where
things go. |
|
|
By 4 pm, we are in the new house, surrounded by
boxes. |

Helen remains cool, and starts to organise the kitchen. |
