The move becomes concrete

The last week was very stressful and busy. Our days were dominated by packing boxes. You can´t imagine how many things we collected over the years and had to through away now. We had to drive to the recycling court several times to get rid of all that stuff we don’t need any more. This is even crazier since we gave away so many things to friends and family before…

After recognizing how many bottles of Campari we have, we decided to serve the red Italian alcohol at our farewell-party next week. To offer different variations of Campari we tried various cocktails during the last nights – it was great fun as you can see ;)

On Saturday we brought the bulk of our furniture and the boxes to my parent’s garage – a big THANK YOU to all the hard-working helpers that handled this removal with ease.

After all things had been stored in the garage another task waited for all the helping hands: Wallpaper had to be removed. In a good mood and with energetic help even from the smallest three rooms were cleaned in less than two hours. Wow, fantastic job!

Now we are staying in a nearly empty flat and packing the last boxes. There are only two weeks left till Klaudia will leave Germany for Edinburgh.

Dear sister heart, dear brother (in law), time is running and soon you will be moving to Oxford.
It´s now time, to wish you good luck and thank you for everything.

Normally I would have asked Klaudia for advice, but this time I have to do it by myself, whether I like or not.

Thank you dearest sister, you were always there for me, Emily and David.
I hope, that we can be of some support to you in future.
You are an angel. Thank you.

Thank you Sebastian too. I can´t imagine having a better brother in law.

Finally some wishes for you:

We wish you
a cloudless sky,
the odour of the most beautiful flower,
a song,
a smile,
a wish, that comes true
simply everything
which is fun and creates happiness for you.

All the best and good luck in Oxford.

We miss you already.

Looking forward to seeing you soon

Jessica, David und Emily
