We Have Our Stuff












Ooodles of it! Amidst the unpacking it dawned on me how much I had actually enjoyed living a 'clutter' free life these past few weeks, but it's good to have some familiar stuff around us, even if antique pine 'doesn't go' in an Indian house. And...neither do our sofas!



Some of you will remember that HUGE Pickfords lorry that virtually blocked Priory Road for a whole week, so here is the Indian version of that lorry. This one went backwards and forwards 6 or so times over the weekend ferrying our belongings from the dock to our house, thank goodness we're on the coast.


The kids thought Christmas had come early and were delighted to see their toys, particularly the outside ones and DD was off on her bike up and down the drive closely pursued by DS in his pedal car (pushed by the guards!) then they swapped over, then there was a tussle, a paddy and a tantrum...and it was time to come inside again to calm and cool down!


So, we've been very busy this weekend attempting to unpack, get straight and have even added more debris to that Skip we had sat on our drive in Kenilworth for a month before we left. Funny how some belongings become surplus to a new life.
