Viva La Boxes!!!

On 12th January, we said goodbye to four tea-chests and three book boxes and sent them off with Seven Seas.

On 22nd April, they arrived in port in Wellington, and two days ago, on Friday 8th May, they were finally delivered to our new home here in Kilbirnie!!

Whooo Hooo Hooo!!

It was a very cold, wet, windy, rainy night in Welly but we were toasty warm inside and very happy, unpacking all our 'stuff'!



A treasure trove of nostalgia and practicality ...



Some dearly loved old friends survived the 126 day journey intact ...



Armed to the teeth ... what the well-prepared woman brings with her to the New World!


How much more?!?! Do we really need all this &*^%$ ???



Oh yes!! My best beloved books ... a huge down-filled duvet ... and a precious persian carpet ... Welly, bring on your worst winter weather, I'm ready now!

Lin, Seeing this makes me very happy -- you have been so stoic about living out of suitcases without your treasured keepsakes. I would have been howling like a baby cutting teeth! Love to you all!
