Moving Day!! We borrowed the van for Mal’s sisters Pet Rescue. When we moved from the caravan we gave them all our bedroom furniture. It was a huge van they used to collect it and that is what we thought we were borrowing. No, in fact it was a small one which meant that there were a lot more trips. I went to the cottage and Mal stayed in the old house. Sol helped as well, we needed some muscle apart from Rhys. I carried what seemed like hundreds of boxes. The best thing was to park outside the front gate, shortest distance. If you parked by the garage, it was a long trek across the lawn. Only one problem with this, it is a single track road, with hardly any cars passing but of course they all wanted to use it today.
The beds came first, just as I feared, they wouldn’t go up the stairs. Rhys has to dismantle half the staircase, not so easy as it had an electric wire running through one of the posts. With a lot of pushing and pulling, both king size beds were up. It was a very long day and we finished about 9pm. Lou and Rhys now have our arm chair as it won’t fit! These are small cottagey rooms, cosy but we will have to reorganise as things look a bit squashed the way they are. In fact we have to climb over one settee to get up the stairs, so we will have to swap the sitting room and dining room. Things are never easy.
Mal and I ached by the time we finished.
