Before and After

Green Acres before the move and Atamelang before the move...




Green Acres after the move and Atamelang after the move...


It was a bit of a squeeze unpacking into our new home, a bit like playing tetrus trying to fit things in. But we made it. Here is the kitchen after a hard days work,


And we even have a spare bed (or two) for when you come and visit.


The Move

So we have finally moved.
We packed til late on Tuesday evening with some help...



...(well, entertainment really - that is our bath by the way)

And the movers woke us up first thing on Wednesday morning. They packed up our stuff and we all set off for the great North West Province. (Looks like a tough job, being a mover...)

We arrived in Atamelang on Wednesday evening, slept on a blow-up mattress in our empty house and ate pre-sliced cheese on pre-sliced bread in our empty kitchen)

Our things all made it up in one piece on Thursday morning. They unloaded in torrential rain, and we spent the rest of the day making house. So now we are all unpacked and settled inside, we just need to sort out the shower outside. After washing my hair in the bottom of the garden while many neighbours looked on fascinated, the shower curtain has just become a priority. Watch this space...
