Pictured is our storage container – all our furniture and household goods are stored on a farm halfway between Wedge Meadow and Stratford.  It has taken us over two months to organize it all, with almost daily storage trips as well as to the tip and the charity shop.  We sold bikes on Ebay, books on Amazon and Derek’s mini on Autotrader.

It all looks a bit of a mess in the photo but Derek treated the storage container like a giant jigsaw puzzle – the space at the front was filled with the final items to go – the bed, the tv and the plant pots.

Needless to say, we both have bad backs and have vowed to use a removal company next time.
