We've sold the house and are putting all our personal possessions (well those worth keeping) into storage. It's amazing that our life's possessions fit into just two small wooden crates ready to be stacked and stored in a big warehouse. Super Storage at Preston removed the need to hire a van as they drop the wooden crates off at your house on the back of a trailer and you fill and lock the crates before they pick them back up. Let's just hope the warehouse doesn't burn down whilst we are away.... The rest of our more personal items are off loaded to willing relatives loft spaces and we grab what we can fit into our cars to see us through the next few weeks in rented accommodation before we leave for Canada.
