ON THE MOVE

Today's the day...

After over two years of uncertainty (the horrors of which I have spared my gentle readers) we are finally moving flat for (at least) the next six months while our old home is undergoing major surgery and a minor face-lift.

With sixty-something joint-years of accumulated STUFF, this has not been an easy time and whilst we haven't yet cleared and packed EVERYTHING, we couldn't possibly have reached this day without the very practical help and support of some wonderful friends who have toted piles of dusty books, sorted and packed boxes, moved wall-loads of pictures, cleared and cleaned, provided sustenance for the workers, necessary laughter at moments of despondency and generally kept our repeatedly-flagging spirits from sinking into despair!

The following film is dedicated with huge thanks to Sheila & Roger, Mandy & Rob, Christine & Richard, Sophie, Gay & John, Robbie and Jo plus Gill, Sharon and others who have provided moral support and encouragement...

Many hugs as you "head 'em up and move 'em out"... may it somehow be an experience that leads to good things.

I know what a horrendous ordeal the past couple of years has been for you, but hopefully once you have moved in to your temporary home, you will be on the 'home straight'.

And if you are now going to be able to move back in to your old, hopefully much improved home, then that will be terrific.

Some of the scenes in this film are worryingly reminiscent ... where did we park the piano ... ?

The move not yet complete (sadly) as we have still not completed clearing the old flat and we have no internet at the new flat, which I need for my writing. So the nightmare goes on...

For Wobble and anyone else - no need for a new address: post is being forwarded and it will only confuse everyone if we give you a new address when (in, hopefully, six months) we move back!
