When I asked people here how their move went they all sighed and said pretty much the same thing. "Well we made it". It's only now that I can fully appreciate what they meant!
We made it but the journey was long and stressful! We were still packing the trailer at midnight on Thursday and putting the last things in the van as we were due to leave the following morning but somehow we made it onto the ferry and heaved a sigh of relief. We drove in convoy with Ian only managing 55 mph (less uphill) and me behind with the cat. We kept in touch using walkie talkie radios. Friday we stayed in a nice hotel but collapsed into bed and passed out. We overslept the following morning but continued our drive southwards by mid morning and got here, finally at 8.00pm.
So we are here and keep having to remind ourselves that we don't have to go back
I will write more details as the days progress but for now we are resting!

Very pleased to hear you and all your belongings made it safely to your new home. It's funny how it always feels as if it won't all get done in time, but somehow things do seem to come together at the last moment.
Enjoy your time of rest and reorientation.
Bon Courage :-)
