As I have sold my London apartment I have to empty it this weekend. So I have arranged for a French removal firm to come over, meet me there on Saturday ( I shall fly in on Friday) and then take all my furniture to the house in France. We shall unload on Sunday. It will be difficult because the new house is still a building site inside, with no partition walls upstairs. Everything will have to be stacked in the kitchen and downstairs bathroom, and some stuff may need to be put in one of the outhouses. But I am excited - it is a big step towards feeling that this really is my new home! Good vibes please and think of me moving stuff on Saturday and Sunday. I have to return here on Monday so I shall be exhausted. I shall take some pix of the process and post next week.
