Off went the van.....

Well all the furniture has now gone!  It feels very strange.  The two guys who packed everything were amazing.  Really professional.  I would totally recommend PSS - well assuming it all gets to the States ok!  They loaded everything onto the container in the pouring rain.  The weather really could not have been worse!

Everything was packed and labelled and had a number on it.  There were 141 boxes in all.  Astonishingly well packed too!

Now this really did impress.....two men carrying the piano out of the house, down the steps and into the container!  Amazing

Luckily, the box was the right size - I measured it last year so it was a bit of a tense moment I have to say...

The container was sealed

Here's the container being filled

And here it is leaving us for Leeds.  It went by road to Leeds and then is going to Tamesport in London (well Kent) by train and there it will wait for the Stuttgart Express container ship.  We are able to track the ship to some extent but it wont be in Tamesport until 4th October as it's on its way from Halifax Nova Scotia.

So there we go......our home packed away until we buy a house in the US!
