Packing

We started packing our boxes ready to ship sometime this week. It was a scorcher of a day and the only place with enough room to see what we were packing was the weeny little garden of my mums house. We got pretty hot and bothered and eventually gave up and went to the pub but here is some evidence of the absolute and utter chaos that is currently our lives....

Doog, as usual, was doing his best to get in on the action or just plain get in the way!

Eeerrr... as you can see, our worldly goods don't amount to much anymore. Mostly books that we'll probably never read again and photos that we won't want to look at in Canada for fear of blubbing uncontrolably.

and won't give it back!

When we couldn't take any more we took a stroll across the green down to the pub. "The Ship Inn" is one of four pubs in the village of Upnor. Not bad for a pretty tiny little villiage! The ship is on the river front and does the best food out of the four.

This is me sitting on the wall opposite "The Ship". In the background is the river Medway and in the distance the other shore is St Mary's Island where we lived up until we decided to sell everything we own and move in with my mum until we move accross the planet (why are we doing that again??) Our old house is the white blob on the right. We can see it from my Mum's house but up until now haven't really missed the place. We kind of miss it now though, it was a nice place to be in the summer.
