I spotted my fist blooming bluet towards the end of last week - what an exciting leap forward for spring hopes!
These miniscule dainties are all over my 'lawn', in bud, getting ready to open up ... most look like this little bundle with tiny whitish bulbs at the tips of stems
I'm so happy to be in this situation today - dispossessed of our goods and chattel! Our container arrived on time, as did the loading crew, and they worked as a team playing "Tetris" with our containers. It only took them 2.5 hours to load a full container very, very efficiently
This was the joyful sight of an empty truck coming down our road:
And then lots of team work, banter and fun, without rain or graupel!
The crew were personable, well-mannered, experienced and efficient at their job. It made for a pleasant experience. So impressive.
Look at the team effort in hoisting the last of the "IF there's room ..." items. Dale did a magnificent job of calculating and estimating our contents' volume - couldn't have been better!
What a relief to watch a fully loaded, secured container of our household goods begin its long journey to the U.K.
Thank you to my wonderful team of personal helpers today 🩷

We were all ready for our container pickup this morning, with our own personal team of four additional helpers, when a disappointing call from the movers forced us to reschedule our week. They couldn't get our container loaded and on its way to us because a crane was malfunctioning.
Look at how ready and organized we were:
