Putting our life into 3 suitcases

As the freezing Edinburgh rain drummed against the windows, I spent the day trying to fit the remnants of our life in the UK into one last suitcase.  I failed miserably.  First I tried a small suitcase (it was overflowing before 3 pullovers, 2 pairs of jeans and a large teddy bear were even near the suitcase), then a larger one, which I promptly filled to 35 kgs....

So out came Mike's records (no! and he'd even completed his collection of Genesis and Eagles albums....hmmm), the jeans will become cutoffs and the pullovers will have to be sent with Royal Mail via boat in a brown paper package, lucky they won't be needed as the BBC tells me it will be 30 degrees when we arrive.

Did I say something about hot weather????  ;-)
