Leaving soon

 Neighbour Heather is packing up her tent and stealing away to a new campground.
She has been offered a deal too good to refuse; a chance to move to a new, modern building, downsize, and still stay in the area.

There is much to do and although NH is in a tizz about getting everything done, once she sets her mind to achieving a purpose you can bet it will happen. And happen sooner rather than later. 

This move is being co-ordinated by her youngest daughter who owns the apartment and the first item on the agenda is for NH to sort through all her current possessions and decide which ones will make the move to the new apartment.   It is much smaller and this dictates which goods will be discarded and which ones will make the move; both the dining setting and the lounge setting will be moving to another place, via one of the charitable organisations.

Although NH insists she has ‘so much stuff’ she is not in the same street as Britt Eklund. When Britt moved from London to California she found she had more stuff than she could fit into her new home.  What did she do?  No charitable organisations for her; she called in Mr Christie, whose representative was greatly impressed, both by the quantity and the quality of her possessions and proceeded to arrange an auction of what was billed as The Britt Eklund Collection.


There will only be one auction for NH and that will be her apartment; the Neighbour Heather Collection will be distributed between the family, the opportunity shops and the hard rubbish collection.  

Energy and logistics - both required for making a move.  File photo: Bolte Bridge July 2016
