Furniture arrives

After nearly three months parted from our prized possessions our funiture finally arrived from the UK. It was strange to walk back from dropping Theo at school on his first day to see a 20ft container lorry parked on the drive, but pleasing to see it was the same container that we watched depart from Sheffield.



It was a tight squeeze, but the lorry managed to get close enough to the house to begin unloading our stuff.



And here it is, just as we left it. Packed and wrapped and hidden from view.



It took the removal men just under three hours to unload everything as we ticked off the boxes one by one.



These are the items left to be inspected by MAF (Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries) just in case the are contaminated. It's an anxious time because they could inspect everything and we could face hefty fines if found guilty of importing contaminated goods. Fortunately, the inspector took just over five minutes to approve our clean items and left us with the problem of whether to unpack or leave things whilst we continue our search for our new home. We've still to decide the best option.
