Moving House!

There hasn't been a lot of sewing happening as last week 
we've been busy moving Mum into her new home.
Monday we started taking all the boxes to the unit.
  
Mum's is the lower unit. For the first time ever she has a carport!
 Friday was furniture moving day when 
Austin had a RDO and could help Noel.
We got her bedroom all set up. 
That's the only room totally done.
We're slowly putting everything else away.
Yesterday we locked up the family home 
for the last time in almost 48 years!
 
Once lock down is over, Mum and I are going 
to have lots of fun shopping for new furniture and items for the unit.
 
It's very exciting for Mum but also a bit sad leaving 
all the neighbours behind. Some of them have 
been there longer than us. But Mum is only 3 minutes away 
so they'll all be able to visit each other.

A lovely young couple bought the house and 
are going to start making it their family home.

That’s so nice and a little bit hard. Let’s hope lockdown finishes soon

It’s so good you could still do the moving while in lock down… Mums bedroom looks lovely ….
I’m sure you’ll both have fun buying new things for Mums unit.
Great the old neighbours are still close…
How nice for another family to now make happy memories in your old home.

Wishing your mum happy times in her new home. Hubs and I moved from our family home of 45 years just over 3 months ago and wish that we had done it sooner.
