The big move…different for all of us.

Well it was bound to happen, what with Doorbell getting married and myself leaving the country, Cam, Doorbell and I were always going to stop having the pleasure of being flatmates.

Due to friends of ours needing their house sat for 7 weeks, we thought we may as well move out now and freeload for almost 2 months. So Cam found himself a place (with tall and bennie beetle) and doorbell and I are gonna look after the house til 20^th of jan, after which doorbell will need to find a place for him and bec (who will be married feb the 3^rd). Moving out always stinks and you realise how much junk you had (unfinished projects and half broken things you kept in the shed or a spare room also fall in this category…). For me, this time is even weirder, as I will only be taking 2 suitcases to france, which means that there is a lot of sorting to be done: what gets turfed and what stays with my parents or gets given away (or sold) to friends, family or op shops…

So if you’re in the newcastle area, give us a call and drop round for a spa, game of pool or a swim in the pool, as that’s where we’ll be for most of summer!

I’d like to finish by saying thanks to Cam and Doorbell for being such great flatmates! Oh and thank alan for lending us the piano moving straps (which made the huge job of moving a piano much easier!) and to cam’s dad for the use of his horse float (which had more room than the boots of our cars/bikes).
