A "grown up" move


Wow, one does collect a lot of stuff over 10 years!

It is hard to believe that S. and I both arrived in the U.K. with just one suitcase.
Things have slightly accumulated since then: I am now the proud owner of a multitude of boxes filled with paints, beads, and all sorts of craft supplies.
I also posses a wardrobe that could potentially be in direct competition with the Beyond Retro around the corner from us...

On the other hand, S. has a huuuge collection  of instruments that, of course, requires special TLC during the move. 
On top of all of these material possession we also happen to be particularly attached to our little pet rat... there's just no way we can bring ourselves to leave her behind.
So, you may ask, are we being realistic about transporting all of this stuff from one island to the next? The answer is yes, but at a cost and a complex process!

Step one:  We will fill up a van with all the instruments and Ratty - we will then tackle the 818 miles between London and Copenhagen. This little trip will also have the added perk of allowing us to bring along all our beloved plants that have made our flat a home.

Step two: A removal company from Jutland will then be in charge of looking after the rest of the stuff for us.

Total cost of the operation: circa £3000
One word: Ouch!
