A quick recap

... of the week our lives changed !

Just one week ago we left our house in Freshwater, Sydney, Australia ...

From this - our old house - just one week ago

...then went to live in the warehouse with our animals ...

The penthouse

 ... then just yesterday took our last remaining furnishings to the tip ...

Paul's ute does its last trip to the tip

... the warehouse office returned to its former glory ...

.... then we were just down to this pile of baggage  !

... the animals were whisked away efficiently by Skypets - they had to go in the morning, so that they could have their final health checks done 24 hours prior to travel ...

Poor boys ...

... and now we are in the UK - having arrived this morning after a great trip on a Qantas A380.  We are staying at the hotel Ibis, just hanging out waiting for the boys to arrive tomorrow ...

This is the view from our bedroom window - so we should be able to see the boys land tomorrow morning at 5.30am ...

Tomorrow we will take the cats to a cattery for a week (Plan D!) - as we decided it would be too stressful for them to drag them from the Airport to the boat and then to Macclesfield and then back to the boat again ... the dogs, however, will love it!

Oh yes, the boat - tomorrow we will go to the boat- and spend our first night aboard !!!!!
