This week is going by incredibly slowly.
There is a huge amount of sorting and packing to do but it is tedious
work.
On the surface everything looks
the same but the cupboards and drawers are now empty.

Paul has spent hours trying to figure out how to get everything in the car
and trailer, loaded carefully to ensure the correct weight distribution.
The trailer is legally permitted to carry 270
kgs; it is currently 30 kgs over.
Philippe has just presented us with a box of conserves, I think it
weighs about another 8 kgs!

| not sure what's in the big jar |
The car is filled to the brim, Rick is having to share his crate with Kat’s
teddy bears.
He knows something is afoot
and has been carefully watching the activity.
Tomorrow he visits the vet to get his passport stamped. We don't leave until Sunday morning but there is still a lot to do before we leave Maison Pierre for the very last time.

A sudden thought – will the trailer go through the new gates?
It hasn’t been taken out since we built them!
Good luck.
ReplyDeleteThank you.
DeleteJust breathe in as you drive through the gates!
ReplyDeleteI shall hold my breath!
DeleteI do so hope you take to Lincolnshire and learn to love the Wolds. Keep me informed!
ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to exploring the countryside there and some visits to the coast.
DeleteI wish you all good in your new way.
ReplyDeleteThanks Yael
DeleteLooking forward to reading about a part of the country I don't know. Good luck with the move. Will the new house be ready for you to move straight in?
ReplyDeleteJust about habitable but it's a project!
DeleteFingers crossed for you that everything goes smoothly between now and Sunday. Looking forward to hearing all about your new home!
ReplyDeleteSafe travels!
ReplyDeleteIt will be a relief to arrive after our long journey
DeleteHi Sue, I have just found you after reading that a neighbourhood blogger was moving over at Magnon's Meanderings and have been busy catching up on your why's and wherefore's before you go. You are leaving a gorgeous house behind but I'm looking forward to reading about your new place!
ReplyDeleteWelcome Pipistrello!
DeleteNo, it won't all fit; you'll have to stay.
ReplyDeleteIt is very windy here today and the temperature has dropped considerably. Just ready for your arrival. Have a good crossing and take your sea sick pills, it is very rough out at sea. Unless you are coming via the tunnel, in which case get there early, the tunnel is busy xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
ReplyDeleteDon't care how rough the sea is because we're coming through the tunnel!
DeleteSee last sentence - the tunnel is busy, arrive early.
DeleteWill you put a tarp over the trailer or does it have a top? That looks like a sweet, cozy spot for Rick. I hope everything goes smoothly, everything fits, and you arrive at your new home ready for new adventures! -Jenn
ReplyDeleteWe will put a heavy tarp over the top and strap it down tightly. Should be waterproof but hopefully the weather will be kind.
