Moving house
It is said to be one of the most stressful things anyone can do.
I hate it with a passion.
The last time my parents moved house, I remember vividly. I was five.
Forty-six years ago.
I left that house over sixteen years later because I got married. Since then, the longest I have stayed in one house has been twelve years. In total, I have moved house twelve times in less than thirty years.
And changed country twice.
When we moved into mobile homes on our site in Ireland I really thought that the next move would be our last and our easiest – just a few yards across to our house, once it was built. How was I to know we would get there via Australia?
Hmmph!
