A quick thanks

There is no way to properly thank everybody for all of their help with us getting here.

Well, I'm sure there actaully is, but I am not well, (poor soldier), and this way will be quicker and easier, and will be just enough to ease my concience.


The person who lent us his trailer.
The good news is you cannot see any rust any more.
It is all covered in mud.
I never thought we would get the trailer up to our actual cottage, bearing in mind that the last 3 kilometersis 4 x 4 only. But we did.
With only one jack-knife, one unpack of the entire trailer to get it over a bad stretch, and we only had to jack it up once when we were stuck really deeply.
It makes a perfect extra storage area outside covered by its tarp.
I put 300 bar in the tyres on the way up, and they still looked like they had puncture. Might have been a bit heavily loaded.
Thanks.
And thanks for driving it through for us the day before we left.


The fridge. This poor thing has been banged and bashed around and I was sure it would not work anymore.
It does. Beautifully.
It is something we would not be able to do without.
Thank you to the person who donated it.
Thank you to the person who serviced and delivered it.
It still has a sticker of a smiling banana on the front door.
It is connected to the gas supply with a gardena garden hosepipe fitting.
Works like a bomb.


Thanks for the shelves guys.
They are lifesavers.
We have set a new world record for what we can store in a very limited amount of space.


The oil lanterns and the hand made curtains look fantastic and were the first things up.
We haven't forgotten the promise of a painting, and are keeping a spot clear above our bed on the wall.


For the record, the Penn reel was droken before I got it.
I will fix it and catch a lot of fish with it.
Engraving you rname in the steel was clever.
But seeing as we share the same surname, I think my metal file and sandpaper could do the business and file off the first name.
Haven't figured out have to engrave my name in its place, but will put google to the test.


For all the people who donated clothes, plastic chairs, tables and toys for the early learning centre. Thank you. I thought of you all while I was packing and unpacking.


Thanks for the pump, dude.
Hope to dig down to a spring and put it to the test.


And for keeping the girls occupied for our first week and setting a precedent with the home schooling. Thanks to you both.

Over and out.
