finally

finally the weather seems to have caught up with season. i got up this morning and saw a garden full of frost and fog, it was very peaceful and beautiful and a good start to our final day in the flat.

we move house tomorrow. we've lived on the edges of forest hill and sydenham since 2001. its one of those border streets where you can pick one place or the other when you're telling people where you live, although they are both quite evenly balenced.

we're only moving two and a half miles away, but it's still been a monumental excercise preparing for it. it's impossible to move for boxes so i'm currently sat on the floor in the spare room.

it is very strange preparing to leave a home. you invest time in making it yours, you make you memories there and then the whole process of packing depersonalises your home back into an empty shell. i'm now looking forward to the stage when the removals co have taken all the boxes and remnants out and i can actually see the space again.

very excited about the new place, but it will be another house full of boxes for quite a while. it's a house, with an upstairs and everything, which is quite a novelty after years of living in a flat.

to good memories and new beginnings. cheers.

Hey Gareth and Cath,

Wishing you both all the very best of luck with the move....will swing by and visit later in December or New Year when I am next in London!

Stay safe and good luck!

You have been a busy blogger of late, haven't you? I've enjoyed catching up.

Welcome to your new place (it's lovely). I hope you're all deboxed and wired back to the web in no time at all.
