Home sweet home

It feels like quite a long time since June 2014 when our belongings were packed into boxes and we waved them goodbye.  Since then they have journeyed in a lorry, boat and train before finally arriving with us 9 long months later. To say that we are all excited would be underestimating it!  Our home finally is beginning to feel like a home again with our familiar things around us. It's funny as before they arrived I always felt a bit like a guest and a stranger in the house but now it is beginning to feel like home. 

There are still lots of boxes to unpack, surprises as we remember what is in them and we now have the fun job of finding places to put everything. 

This is the truck used to move our shipping container as we waited at customs. Ken was keen to have a go driving it. It looked like a lot of fun. 

Moving the container into the shade!  Just because they could! 

Taking a peak inside!

Opening it up. We only filled half of it. Then we took all of the boxes out for customs to check it. 

All checked and ready to go. 

So here we are at home. And the unpacking commenced. 

Audrey's dolls house was a present for her birthday and was wrapped up and shipped less than a week after she had received it. She is now a very happy girl. 

The kitchen as everything was emptied onto the work surfaces. 

And ta dah!  My shelf is up with some of my favourite things.  You just can't look at the rest of the house yet as there are boxes everywhere but we will sort it soon. Home sweet home.
