FEAST, FIRE AND FANCY FOOTWORK

Shippers Ben and Dave turned up this morning at just after 9am. They started in the shed and then moved swiftly through the house. The beds have gone, the bedding has gone. The kitchen table and chairs are all wrapped up.

We emptied the fridge freezer and cooked the contents. There were fish, fish fingers, ham, cheese, chips, scampi, bread, beans, scrambled egg! Coke, juice and tea. The shippers tucked into the feast while we sidled off down to our village pub with Grandad and MIL Dragon. We had a lovely meal of haddock and chips and peas. Yahoo popped down and had a quick drink with us (and a last goodbye - she doesn't want us to go you know!).

The loft is now empty. There are lots of boxes loaded onto the truck. When Smallest came home he had a look.

I popped round to "Everetts" today and had a coffee with her and "Em". Everett bought me a lovely book of Crafts from Kirsty Allsop - I shall be making some things from that book once we are settled.

Then "The Chaps" arrived and Big Chap and I picked up Small from school and they played football while Smallest and Little Chap stuck stickers in a Lego book (which Chap bought for the boys).

Two little bears for our little bears from the chaps. Aren't they cute?????

Mr. Cosy Warm came today to collect some logs. His boiler had broken so I felt sorry for them and said they could have some of our logs. He came over with a wheelbarrow, filled it and I wheeled back for him. When he opened the garage to put the wheelbarrow in, I nearly fell over with shock. There were bags and bags and bags of coal lining the whole side of one wall and logs up to the ceiling of the other wall. He said it would keep them warm for twelve months. Oh well at least I know we have contributed to their warmth for a couple of days!!

This evening we visited The Elderflower Meadows and said our goodbyes.

KT did some more street dancing for us and we captured it on video. Her Street Dance name is KTBakair. I have posted this on YouTube but although we can watch it, we can't add it on to this blog. So I promise to add it as soon as I can. video here

We are now having trouble with our wi fi so may not be able to blog for a bit, but thanks to our neighbour L, we have borrowed her connection.
