It is a big job, let me tell you. Cath has done the majority of it but after numerous trips to the Kingston recycling centre, leaving a few items in my dad’s garage, selling one much-loved VW Polo our house is empty.
We have lived here for 11 years and are the only people to have lived in this new-build house. That all ends next week when our tenants move in.
There is so much to think about with a move like this. As well as arranging to ship the furniture and belongings that we haven’t given to our sons, to France, we have had to change our mortgage, take out landlords insurance, get gas and electricity checks done and many other tests to enable us to move out and rent the house out
But with the arrival of the removal firm the house emptied pretty quickly.
And before we knew it, it was done
And just like that it’s au revoir New Malden. We hope to see our furniture again soon in Lyon.
