Boxes, boxes everywhere!
We won't take very much with us to Kyrgyzstan - mainly clothes and books, and get the other things that we need there - and so most of the things that we own are staying in the UK. It is amazing how much we have collected, even when trying to live reasonably simply!
Some friends who spent many years in West Africa have given us some of the tea chests that they used when they returned to the UK in the early 1970's, and also a trunk used by their uncle to return from Malaya in 1952 (according to the label!) It is quite something to be packing into boxes so steeped in history!
