Well the last few weeks have been hell on wheels. First the
shed was late being built which meant it took us an extra week to get our
furniture into a position for long term storage. Every piece had to be wrapped
in Builders plastic for protection and then stacked in such a way as to ensure
it wouldn’t be crushed. Fingers crossed it will stand the test of time and
emerge unscathed when we settle down in a couple of years.
I then proceeded to finish off the last lot of painting at
my sons house which included doors, windows and architraves – yuck. This alone
took me quite a few days. Having started this renovation 3 years ago I must say
I thought it would never end. The results are pretty good though considering it
was my first attempt at a full reno.
The last few jobs included creating an outdoor patio oasis
for Jessica to house my plants, outdoor setting and bbq trolleys. This
involved, paving, painting and repotting of plants. Hard labour but I am now
happy to report that plants and furniture both will survive and thrive in their
new home.
Thankfully after nearly 3 weeks of hard yakka the time
arrived to leave Jessies front lawn and launch ourselves into the great
unknown. It is sad to say goodbye to everyone but in no time I am sure we will
be again catching up especially with all the trips our friends and family have
planned to wherever we are in the East.
