We’ve moved!
We’re sitting in the middle of lots of boxes, and the painters haven’t finished everything yet, but we have actually moved. Fairly painlessly thanks to the very efficient (but expensive) removal team that arrived with a crane to take furniture out of the old flat. Unfortunately because the facade of the new flat is covered in scaffolding for a face lift they had to manhandle the delivery, but so far we have not discovered anything broken or missing. We’re still getting used to the new kitchen appliances, showers etc and had a shock horror with the internet connection not working last night, but everything seems to be going well now.  More updates to follow…
