Packing up from the Wycliffe Centre

Once again the suitcases are out and we are slowly filling them with our stuff. In less than two weeks we will be leaving our little flat near High Wycombe where we have lived since September. Our next base will be down in Devon staying with my (Liz’s) parents. As usual it is with mixed feelings that I take things off shelves and out of drawers and put them in suitcases. I’m sad to be leaving our flat, which has been perfect for our needs for the past ten months and which was so beautifully prepared for us by the previous owners, our friends Mark and Laura. It has been a great base for working, resting, entertaining friends and exploring the nearby countryside. Of course we have made some new friends whilst living here so we are sad to leave them (but many of them are also moving on at some point soon!). It is always hard to move from somewhere where you’ve been happy into the unknowns of the future.

However, I am also excited about moving and seeing what the next step will be like. Devon is somewhere that I love spending time and it will be great to be closer to my family. Avonwick should be an equally good place to work, rest and explore the outdoors. We will just have to trust for the friends nearby too! It also feels like one step closer to welcoming baby Wisbey…! We know we’re by no means alone in the experience of packing up and moving. How do you feel about it and what do you do to help make it easier?

Before we head down to the south-west we are planning to make a short trip to Sheffield, from the 27th June to the 3rd July. Do get in touch if you’d like to meet up during that time. After that we have our second scan (pictures will no doubt follow) and then on to get settled in Devon.
