I’m finding it very difficult to believe that we are almost there! On Monday 21st July, our removers are coming to pack up the home that we have lived in for nearly 25 years. Our sons were little boys when we came here and we had to deal with settling them into a new school and helping them to make new friends. Now, they are both grown men in their thirties!

Then Tuesday 22nd is the Great Moving Day, when everything will be transported just over a mile away to our new home. Younger Son is going to spend a week with us to help with the task of unpacking. We have done our very best to get rid of unnecessary clutter and things that we no longer use or need. My piano has gone to a new home and Lovely Husband’s thirty year old stereo system is also on its way. We have filled two skips and there will also be numerous trips to the tip before this is all over.

During this week, a great guy came to deal with all of the flatpack furniture. I am really pleased with the results. We also have a company extending the storage in our main bedroom and installing a dishwasher in the kitchen. After we move in, there will also be other deliveries of new furniture and equipment. It has all been carefully chosen to make our lives much easier and more comfortable moving forward. I hope we all enjoy living there for many years to come!

Now for something completely different!

As the prices for Hermès scarves are now getting beyond my means I have had to find other ways to satisfy my scarf addiction! The other day I saw that Clarissa Hulse was having a sale. On visiting her site, I found cashmere scarves! Now, these are not, of course, anywhere near the likes of Hermès, but I love her designs, so I thought that I would order one. Here it is…

The cashmere is very soft and fine and the colours are gorgeous. Now, the weather here in this part of the UK is far too hot for modelling photos, but I will try to take some when we get cooler temperatures.

Now, back to sorting out the move!

Happy Weekend!

Love and best wishes,

Anne
