Today has been another milestone in our two year journey. Our boxes and furniture are now out of storage for the first time since leaving London and have been delivered to us here on the croft!
As the house isn’t quite ready (skirting and architraves to go in, painting needed, electrics to be finished, bathrooms and kitchens still to finish) we minimised what they moved into the house. They only took in the big things, like sofas, bed and bookcases, things that we would have struggled to lift on our own.
The rest (mainly boxes of books it seems!) have filled the new shed. They fitted in, just.
It seems strange to have our things back. Nice, but strange. The next few weeks will be busy trying to get as much finished off as possible so that we can start to unpack and move in!
The removals guys were a bit nervous about one box though, and on closer inspection I could see why.
This is what happens when you let your husband label things…

What an exciting step!!!
After the first half dozen or so moves, I learned not to leave cryptic labels on boxes, but I would have done a “cauldron owl” just for the fun of it!

It’s so difficult to part with books. We do have too many, I suspect..🤨

I know…I have about 24 boxes’ worth! But…too many books? No such thing, right?

Ummm, I can’t imagine what would have been made of the contents of our moving boxes; buckets of live chicks, boxes of animal skulls and bones, weirdly named pots of herbs; dried and potted, not to mention the odd dusty leather bound book of spells. Just as well we had friends help us move.

Sounds amazing! We have an owl (stuffed), a poisons chest, but no cauldron. There was a bit of artistic licence going on there I think from husband to describe an old copper preserving pan I have.

🤣🤣🤣 I have a cauldron, but I wouldn’t pack it in a box. Too many greasy smears there, I use it to render fat for soap making.
