Easter Packing

3 weeks to go and 2 days of work to go!

It has been a usefull, if a tad uneventful easter longweekend - Packed our lives into 10 Boxes!

Not a lot for 10 years in the UK - but not having to purchase furniture has helped alot - I guess we'd have more, if we hadn't flogged most of our DVD collection on E-bay, given my books to Charity, and our spare kitchen goods and linen to a few friends!

It wasn't all packing and cleaning on the weekend - We did venture out over the easter weekend, despite the "snow" - we went to Hampton Court Palace, the homeof Henry VIII, plus a few other Kings and Queens. Lyn hadnt' been before, and I'd been about 10 years ago.

It was quite an interesting experience for me, comparing my memories of HCP 10years ago, and this later visit. HCP was the first palace I visited in Europe, I was awed by the Paintings, Tapestries, Granduer, History, and Gardens. 10 Years later, after visiting numerous castles, palaces and catherdrals, not to mention Art Galleries and Museums, the whole HCP seemed rather "ho-hum" - Methinks I mightbe leaving the UK at about the right time.

So far the move down under has been a boring exercise in paper work, packing, cleaning, and spending money - hopefully now that most of that is done, lets hope the fun begins, and with the Irish -Paul and Lyns coming down for the weekend, I suspect things will get interesting.
