100 days until we leave for Australia.
On occasion I feel trepidation, more so as the big day approaches. More often though I feel excitement and happiness inside. However, this internal happiness is bordering on smugness, an attitude which I loathe in others, so I'm constantly trying to suppress it.
The weather is improving in the UK by the day and, by all accounts, we're in for a scorcher this summer. I was feeling particularly smug the other day when I was thinking about the year ahead. With any luck by the time we leave, on 23rd July, we'll have enjoyed a nice summer here and with only a month or so to 'tough out' before the Aussie summer begins, we face almost a complete year in the full glare of the sun.
A year of summer! That'll do me nicely.
In other news we've had two sets of 'movers' round. Brittania Cestrian came first and have quoted us £3850 (approx. A$9625) for a twenty foot container from Rhyl to Albury. We were very impressed with their representative but think the price is a bit steep.
Godiva Enterprises came next but seem a lot less professional and organised but are a grand cheaper.
You get what you pay for I suppose, so it could be a case of seeing what we can afford. We'll get a couple more quotes and take it from there. If any of you out there in Blogland have got any advice or recommendations on movers then I'd appreciate any feedback.
