Sea of Boxes!

Well, all this talk but it has finally begun happening.  We’re in the joyous throws of moving house!  (Quick snapshot from my Mac Book – Why doesn’t i-photo have a ‘flip image’ option?) I am literally using every hour of my waking day in which to pack while Jamie stays on top of our family business.  My hands are sore, and so is my throat from disturbing so much dust (yes I do have dust in my house you know – don’t be shocked!).  The boxes are mounting up and we will be heading South to Derbyshire over the forthcoming Bank Holiday weekend. 

I never knew we had so much stuff.  I’m generally fairly minimal and Zen-like when it comes to how I like my rooms (kids rooms are obviously the exception!) but I am shocked at how much stuff we have hoarded in the loft and the shed (not to mention the stuff we have been keeping stored at my Dad’s house.)  I’ve thinned it out a bit but it is so hard to get rid of my creative history and staggeringly there is lots of it!  Jamie reckons I need a house all for myself!

Have checked in with the Steiner school and they are expecting us on the first day back after the holiday break, so all is good there.  Will have to reconnect with people there over the break in the coming weeks to ease ourselves in to the community again.  Not that I feel like I have to ‘ease myself in’ really.  I always feel welcome there and so do the kids.  I don’t think it will take long for us to settle in at all.

Will keep y’all posted.  Now where did I put the bubble-wrap?
