Yesterday was so exhausting we can't really believe we did it. Pete and Reg went back and forth while Elizabeth packed. It seemed endless. Jeffrey came to help move things from all floors to the front hallway, in prep for moving. Mid afternoon, Pete was heard to say, "We need a man with a Van!!" Lo and behold, Elizabeth found Ian and his van, who duly arrived, packed it full and went to Bella where Jeffrey and Pete were waiting for the offload. By the time Pete went to Rectory Rd AGAIN and collected Elizabeth and Josie, all three were on their last legs. However, unpacking called and oddly enough, they managed to cook a real meal in their new home. They fell into bed - 2am?
Up at 6:30 for Bella to be moved out of the shed for an engine service, water fill, small snags taken care of, Pete back to 43 Rec for one more visit of stuff, then we were all underway. Shockingly, Josie stayed on deck, did not fall in the canal, bounced on and off Bella to deal with locks and other than trying to crawl under the coal sacks at an odd bump, seemed to fare well.
Another home cooked meal, done by Pete while Elizabeth prepared for teaching project management next week, and here we are, moored up by Nell's Bridge, southeast of Adderbury. Wonderful.
