We’re on our way from our little village in North Buckinghamshire. The boxes are being packed. We’re redecorating and decluttering and scrubbing like fiends. Soon the house will be on the market.
We’re off on an adventure.
We’re moving to Canada.
I told you it was exciting.
Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to run around in circles, drink some gin, and write a things to do list. Again.

You are going to have to relearn about gardening!! I am in New Jersey and cannot grow things you can in the UK.. And the climate in Calgary is much more extreme than here!!
What a big change! Good luck on everything and hope you keep on blogging!!!
The Coffee Lady
How very exciting! Can’t wait to hear how it goes.

Will be great – but good luck with the moving process! The worst bit for us was putting together an inventory of everything we were shipping for insurance…
