Ohh look there's a lorry outside the house now. I spoke too soon and after having another blitz of the house yesterday, another trip to the Tip was required. I wonder if I should just set up home there? Having not eaten properly last night either I felt a bit shaky, today's breakfast therefore was a Tesco chicken and bacon sandwich in Tesco Marlborough car-park at 8.45am. How exotic. Returning home at 9.30, the Luckes & Son removal van had arrived and they'd already begun the task. Ian (driver) and Mark (in charge)were troopers throughout the emptying of the house, so by 11.15am the van was packed. Julie went off to say goodbye to Alison one of her neighbours and I had a wander around just to check everything had been removed. At 11.25am we shut the door on the East Grafton home for the very last time.
The oddest thing then happened. Julie and I drove away in separate cars arriving at the Somerset house about 1pm. We both said we didn't feel any sadness in leaving the house behind, or leaving Wiltshire behind. It was as if the separation was meant to happen now. A few months earlier it may have been a different story, but today, as we turned out of Lynden Close for the very last time, it felt right, there is always a right time to move in and this was it.
By 4pm when this photograph was taken we were installed and the removal men Ian and Mark had gone. An excellent and painless move by Luckes & Son, very good, I'd recommend them.
