Avon Cottage Empty ...

... but Wandsworth house full!

"Well the move seemed to go smoothly" he said, looking at the chaos around him.

It took the movers four and a half hours to pack up the cottage. The 17 metre van was full, we literally could not get another item in. And it is now all in our Wandsworth home!

We cannot move; we have two complete sets of *everything*. The bedrooms upstairs are just as bad. It will take a while to digest this lot. A few trips to the local auction house and municipal dump will help. And expect to see quite a few items appearing on eBay, we have already sold a washing machine and a day bed. There will be more to follow...

Oh, yes, and we had a lovely meal at The Food Room and fell exhausted out of the taxi and into bed.

i know how you feel. I thought I'd never empty all the boxes when I moved here! Good to know you are in good spirits about it. Happy unpacking!

Looks like our home office. After moving everything out of the bedroom to have the hard wood floors put in, I am very reluctant to put all the junk back in. I need to make a couple trips to the trash bin with it all!
