What an adventure

And so begins our adventure…

The removals company didn’t turn up at our house in Essex until 2pm – two hours late. As we had to be at the Eurotunnel terminal by 5pm we just had to quickly show the removals guys round the house giving them instructions about the treatment of our precious possessions. I was a bit anxious as their English wasn’t great and my German was non existent. Having given instructions we left our house and all the packing in their care then zoomed off on our long car journey to Cologne. The journey was a very long one and I am glad it was Simon doing the driving and not me. We arrived at Simon’s temporary flat just before midnight.
