Dinner

A long day, with 6 guys packing and loading.  Mostly went well, though they have managed to pack the broken vacuum and dead electric toothbrush that were in the hall waiting for us to take a trip to the tip. 

And they've packed W's toothbrush, shaving gear and denture case - he'd left them in the en suite bathroom to dry off a bit before packing them - but one of the guys got there first!

Interestingly, as our stuff is going into storage, they loaded much of it into huge crates, which can be picked up and manoeuvred by forklift. 

We had decided that, although they offered to leave the bed, along with kitchen essentials, we would retire to a relatively upmarket hotel, just down the road from our house, for the next couple of nights.  Glad we did.  No boxes, and the meal was lovely - chicken for me, pithivier for W.
