We are moving!! In this first part of my Moving Diaries, I’m taking you through the very real, slightly chaotic lead-up to getting our keys—aka the moment I finally admit we’ve done basically nothing for weeks and now have to pack the entire flat in a few days. I start in the living room/study area, taking down shelves and art, filling holes, and making a proper packing plan (well… I made a list). I also show you how I keep a little “essentials” basket out for filming and editing, because even when I’m surrounded by boxes, I still need my laptop, chargers, and the bits I use every day. Then it’s full-on tag-team mode with Lyall: we smash through the kitchen cupboards, wrap up the fragile bits, and inevitably run out of supplies—so we head to The Range for more boxes, tape, and bubble wrap. After that, it’s wardrobes, coats, dismantling furniture (dusty, sweaty, but satisfying), and packing toiletries into one big box so I’m not rummaging through ten different ones later. We take a slightly more chilled Sunday reset moment, and then Monday finally arrives: coffees, blue skies, and we pick up the keys. I give you a tiny sneak peek of the new house, then we head back to start the moving runs—moving in is coming next.
