It’s been the craziest week ever this week. We had to move out of our house before having anywhere to go! We’ve been going to work, getting home late and packing, cleaning, sortng. We’ve done a week of 17 hour days with no break to get everything out before the new people move in.

There was a time when I thought I might curl up into a corner and wait for it all to be over! We’ve moved in with friends and left our house behind, with everything we own stored until we get our own house. It was sad to leave our house behind, so many memories, so many people have passed through. We’ve seen people become friends, watched people grow and become, had so many fun parties, meals, celebrations. I’ll miss it, but as I left, as sad as I felt, it’s not our home anymore. It was empty and bare. I like to think that it’ll miss our lives and activity. I feel like it’s absorbed a little bit of every person who’s passed through the door.

Now we are nomads. We can go anywhere and do anything cos we have very little to take with us! I really hope that we hear soon when we can move into our new house. In the meantime, I’m convinced that there are things we will learn in this time, people who we will connect with and other people’s food we can eat!!

At the moment we’re away with the Mosaic Sheffield team eating blueberry pancakes for breakfast.

Here’s to the next bit of the adventure of life….

Our empty house
