It all felt a bit strange but in the end we had to go. At least there was a first – all grandparents in the same place at once. There was also Russell breaking a garden chair as he took the family picture!
A fond farewell
Down on the farm
Our final week in the UK – for a little while anyway. We’re living at the Dovecote although we’re actually in the Coach House and it’s very nice. I think we’re converted and prefer this end of Harrold.

Over land and sea
They came, they packed, they loaded and it went. 200 boxes into a giant container and we didn’t even get close to filling it!

The big four-oh, washed down with a large glass of unoaked Chardonnay! The warm roast beef, onions and mushrooms with a side of chips were yum!
House of boxes
When I left for work in the morning it was a normal house. Just a few hours later it looked very different!

The garden looked the same though. I wonder what it will look like when we return? Still have a lawn covered with soccer bare patches?

Should be packing…
…but we can’t pack as we won’t be insured, so probably best to stay in the garden and gaze at the apple blossom.
Soon be Pimms o’clock. Do they have Pimms in Washington?
Destination Seattle.
Four weeks today. What started a few days before Christmas 2010 with some frantic online form filling is nearly upon us. Lots of form filling, photocopying, scanning, tidying, phone calls and money later it’s all about to start. All getting very real. Oooo how exciting!
