It's happening!

Well we are nearly in our new abode. A very very busy week, packing boxes, humping lifting, unpacking boxes... last Saturday we got Ewan settled in to his new flat in Largs. Then it was all systems go getting stuff ready for the removal men on Tuesday.

I set up a block and tackle to get stuff down from the attic - a bit Heath Robinson -but it did the trick. No one got clobbered when boxes fell out of the fishing creel basket we used to put things in!

The removal men came and of course it POURED with rain. We were just about one step ahead of them in the packing. All was loaded and away by 2.00pm. Then the clean up began and the inevitable finding of things that could have gone on the truck. We will have another car load of stuff to bring south after Jenny W's wedding on 24th...

We drove south on the Wednesday afternoon and arrived at 1.15 am in TW, got Ginger sorted in the kitchen then went to friends for the night. Next morning at 8.00am the great unload began. The removal crew were as strong as oxen and did a good quick job of getting the stuff in. So now the big sort out begins!

Anyway I will be e-mailing you our new address very soon.

We are working hard getting tyhings sorted, have not slept in it yet or cooked, burt wuill pretty soon. Meanwhile we have Ginger well and truly moved in and being an excellent guard cat! We allowd him to venture out for the first time and he seems to have accepted his new environs and has not wandered off.

Thast all for the moment.
