Today is our very last trip to the container before heading off - all the things we treasure most ( apart from our children, family and friends) are locked away in this big tin box. We've been adding things to the container over the last three years and had a mega clear out about six months ago when we 'donated' a third of the contents to charity. It's amazing what you hold onto and really amazing when you let it go!
The rusty lock box that Greg is handling in the pic has been home to a little bird for the last year. It perches on the metal rod and is safe from wintry chills in there though probably too hot in the summer ( a little bird says he has applied for an Air-conditioning unit from the Local Authority). We have no idea what type of little bird it is as we always manage to startle it. He/she then flies off in a fuzzy flurry of feathers impossible to identify. Very sensibly it stays away until we drive off. Today we note that it has a flatmate, a spider, perhaps he won't be around long!!
I'm wondering where/when I will be able to unload the contents of our container.
More later
