This morning, Judy recorded the dawn chorus from the conservatory at 5am. Sooty our blackbird was in full song, singing from a telephone poll across the way... a fitting farewell to our time here.
Now that the house has become bare and stripped its time to reflect on all that has happened in the seven years we have lived here.
We moved into a bare and empty space that had never been lived in before and now we leave it with memories...creativity, friends, music and laughter. It has been a fabulous home.
Judy tops up the bird feeders as I write and the sparrows flit about in the beech edge.
Today the last of the studio boxes will be gone... and that, will be that.

These were the "before and after" shots from yesterday...and the first was taken only 20 minutes before the second....the movers are incredibly fast.
It has been quite nerve-wracking to keep the things coming with us separate from the things to be stored and sent to America next year...they are like swarming bubble wrap-laden bees. Mom told me that when my sister moved to Virginia, she had a box from her kitchen with used Brillo pads...this might really interesting!
What I do know is this, all the legal documents and our love letters are safely in the suitcases we are taking, they are the things I could not imagine losing in all the momentary chaos.
