the living room was empty...
aaaaarghhhhhh! we leave today in less than one hour! very scary and we have had a few dramas over the past couple of days but miraculously everything is sorted and we are packed and ready to go!

Very hard to say our goodbyes but I suppose this is where this site comes in! you'll probably hear more from us using this site than when we were in the UK!

Anyway while we were packing we took set up our camera in the corner of the room and set it to take a photo every 5 mins. We deleted most of them (it took about 5 hours!) but to sum up our day....the living room was empty......then all of our stuff got shipped in.....then we attempted to pack.....and it didn't fit.....so we packed again..... and it didn't fit.......then jim got annoyed....so we packed again...and then it all fit.....and then we were happy!

So here we are having our last ever cup of yorkshire tea, going to the train station at 11:30, train at 12:12 straight to stanstead then fly from stanstead to gothenburg at 8:30 tonight.

Next blog from gothenburg!
