Dust!

We had such a lovely time away in Cornwall. I can't believe that it is well over a week since I wrote saying we were on our way there. Although it was a bit mad going away just before moving house, it was nice to be forced to take a break from planning the move and packing. All we did was play on the beach, explore caves/rock pools, look around cute, Cornish towns, have meals together, watch films and read books. I also had quite a bit of head space to work in my novel. Lovely.

Now I've returned to a whirlwind of boxes, clutter, sorting things for the charity shop/tip and two little ones trying to undo all my good work! Oh, and dust! How does so much of it accumulate in a reasonably well-cleaned house? I feel covered at all times and because it's been disturbed, it resettle on all the formerly clean surfaces in the house. Sigh.

It's actually quite a relief to be at the stage of packing where you know you are leaving in a few days, so you can start to pack away essentials. I'm sure I'll regret some of these decisions when one of the children in sick and needs a completely clean set of sheets but everything will need packing at some point! I'm past the stage of caring too much.

My parents are helping us out with looking after the girls for some of the week and J's mum will have them the night/day of the move so I think we will be ready. I reckon this will be my last post in this house so... see you on the other side! 

Here are some photos from our holiday :)

And the packing (sob!).
