This is it! It’s thursday, and the house is nearly moved out by Pickfords (who have been great).

It’s sunny as I write this, and I am looking out over the view from our bedroom for the last time, with the green trees and abundance of birdsong. I hope I will remember this. This is what I have most loved about this house. even though it’s too small for us and we dont’ like the neighbours very much!

I do look forward to moving from crampt, overlooked, public England.

After we’ve picked the girls up, we’ll fuss around for a bit, then drive with our bags to a hotel in Gatwick, ready for our early flight tomorrow.

GOODBYE BRITAIN!!!!
