Well Here We Are At Last!

All those boxes, loaded into the van, and unloaded at the other end. Box after box after box. 

So grateful to Alan, David, Geoff, Jamie, Rick and Jon. We finally returned the rental van to Dorset on Thursday lunchtime, getting back here in the Skoda at 6:30pm

We called on the family who were just going for an evening stroll. Here are three of us in our parkas [looking like Manchester Mods, said Liz] Rosie is incredibly confident pedalling her bicycle now. 

We are taking things very slowly - no need to rush with unpacking. And unlike other moves, no rush to start a new job, or get to know the place. 

Last time we were here, I left a message on the fridge as an encouragement. 
We are mostly just resting, and enjoying the peace and beauty... I had some amazingly colourful flowers from Steph, Gaz and George for my birthday 
Plus loads of cards, emails, phone calls etc. wishing us well as we start the New Adventure 
Everyone has been SO kind. 
Thank you all

    1. Thanks Pauline (I'm sorry, Blogger won't let me change the comment as you asked! I share your frustration at being unable to correct typos after you click 'publish') We are definitely taking it slowly for a few days, the sun is shining and the sky is blue, and the Norfolk countryside is gorgeous!

  2. All good wishes for your retirement and please do have a good rest. Even with help your move must have been exhausting. I have enjoyed reading your previous moving stories.

    1. Thank you Pam. It is surprising how rested we feel after just a few nights back on our 'decent' mattress!

  3. So glad you've made it. I don't know how you've managed to keep writing your blog through this. I'm praying we don't ever move. Weve been in our home since 97 and clearing out that would be a massive task.

    1. Start decluttering NOW. I've hardly opened any boxes and have started saying "why did we bring this?"

  7. How sweet it is!
    Bob looks so comfy in his chair but that bookcase is yearning for books and pretty things to go on its shelves. All in good time, of course!

    Hugs!

  8. Happy you are finally off the road for a while and all your things are in one place--even if you don't know which box things are in at the moment. Congrats.

  9. I'm so glad you got it all done! Hurrah and well done! Those flowers are astonishingly colourful!
    Amazing how a good night's sleep on your regular bed makes all the difference! It was so nice to chat to you as you had almost arrived the other day!
    I really enjoyed the moving stories. Xx
