Last week.
Monday up early to take bike to James Cargo for flight to Montreal, its finally happening.
Tuesday, last trip to Gottingen for me for final handover meetings and last goodbyes, Tracy still finishing stuff in Epsom. Back from Gottingen Thursday evening.
Finished work Friday, handed over my car to Adrian and after emotional send off and hugs and kisses, headed north to say goodbye to Mom and Dad and Malcolm and Jana. We had finished work, Sartorius was our lives and it was over.
Got a call from Letting Agent that our proposed tenant had pulled out, what a bummer. Start again, just keep going.
Sunday got back for Lucy's Birthday, went to the Mexican in Dorking to get used to what we will be eating later in the trip.
Monday final load to the charity shop and the tip, finished packing both the house and what we were taking with us. Usual discussion about me not taking enough and Tracy taking too much, got everything into the bags, not sure if bike with manage it.
Removers arrived and packed up double quick and all remaining possessions loaded on the trucks and away.
Last night in our house for a year or so spent on camp beds, but we had packed all bedding so had to use some old picnic blankets that covered the bikes.
No time for reflection (just as well), just complete the list ready for the Flight.
