Magical box

Mark bought me a Victorian writing slope for my birthday. It is brilliant! I've wanted one for years, but they can be expensive. This one needs a little restoration, so was affordable, but not too much that it is unusable.




It has storage for secret letters under the slopes, and still had its original ink bottle, which a lot of them don't!

Being removed

We have now moved out of Nottingham! The removals men came on Monday the 16th June, and we left on the Tuesday to come here to Broughton. It was remarkably stress-free, the only faff being moving the stuff we were not taking to Australia, and trying to (over)load up Mark's dad's van.

These first two photos were taken on Saturday 14th:

By Tuesday, we were empty!

Our belongings are hopefully being loaded onto a ship soon, to arrive in Sydney in around 10 weeks time (fingers crossed!).
