Around 9.30 our crates that we have hired arrived....let the packing begin.

I started with the books and because I had them all in neat rows of similar height, it was easy to pop them all in the crates. Then I moved on to the kitchen while Pete boxed up all the shed bits and pieces. I can not believe how many crates I filled with crockery, mixing bowls, salad bowls etc....and we had already given away a heap of kitchen utensils.

We just love the crates...so much easier than taping cardboard boxes and worrying if they are too heavy.
