So here I am emerging on the other side, 95% of my life safely stored (thank goodness I decided to go for the next size up. It only just fit) The removal men were a bit useless and arrived an hour late. Luckily for me the 'real' moving day was the next day. The remainder of my life was packed into a small car up to the ceiling and we drove to my temporary home the next day. The flat is fine. I have a comfortable bed, lots of hot water for baths and my own space. I'm thankful. I got my internet set up today.
I went to a Farmer's Market today to meet a friend then sat on a bench in some cold sunshine to have coffee and some chocolate with a friend
The market was very trendy and the produce was silly money. I can't wait to have my own garden to grow some organic veggies.
Now I am starting to think about the next step, so eyes on the prize for the next move...
I can't quite believe I have done it!
Feeling lighter and hopeful that I can actually do this
If you have built castles in the air, your work should not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them
