More moving boxes...

... are filling our garage here in England. Almost all my stuff is here now. All, except of maybe 3 boxes, my diving gear, roller blades and running shoes. That's it. Wow. My brother and I rented a moving van couple of weeks ago and within 3 days I flew to Germany, we packed the van on the same day, drove to my brother's house, spend a night there, took the ferry to England and unloaded everything the next day. It was kind of busy, but now the first move is done and we are waiting for the second one this year.

The whole moving procedure went well. I was a little bit worried about my brother driving that van here in England, but he did very well. When we arrived the weather turned into what everybody considers a typical English one: grey sky, light rain and fog. We arrived late in the evening and it was almost dark outside. The bad thing was that our exit of the main roundabout at the ferry terminal was closed and the police men standing there didn't tell us where to go. But eventually we found our way and made it to Thetford. Unloading everything went very well and fast. We also had a chance to use the big van to bring some of Dave's old furniture to the recycling center. As a thank you my brother got a real American steak for dinner on that day. And he loved it. If it is not for the English weather it is for the steak that he wants to come back in July. And I am so much looking forward to all the people visiting us this summer.
