Foreign Perspectives

What’s turned out to be the greatest advantage in our move this time around has been that we have a courtyard and could therefore spread the packing in over several days.

That simple change has meant that we’ve been able to take a great deal more than we originally thought would have been possible. Instead of the rushed packing last time around, we were able to create a very full 3D jigsaw puzzle within the trailer with just about every piece of space occupied by something or other and we’ve even managed to get so far into the original “would like to take but probably can’t” pile that we had to add some more things to it.

One thing that we did watch this time around was that we didn’t overload the trailer which we was helped along considerably by leaving the various toys in the boxes and which filled up the trailer quite nicely with relatively light boxes for the most part. That’s not to say that there aren’t one or two boxes that we can barely lift though!
