The stuff we are taking is now boxed up. Later today the team arrive to start loading the van. They will completely fill the van. Only then will we know what will be left over, and whether we will need to make a second van trip in January.
It’s been quite an experience so far. We’ve gone through all our possessions, accumulated over a 36 year period. When we moved to Maidstone from Manchester in 1982, we didn’t have much furniture as we had only been married seven years and we’d been living in a tiny house in Urmston. So one’s possessions expand to fill the space available! And it’s not as if we are downsizing because the apartment we are moving to has over twice the floor area of our Maidstone home!
So it’s more of a clear out of things we never really knew we had!
