Out!

We made it. All our family members and possessions were out of the flat, and it had been well cleaned, by 3pm on Friday when we had to hand it over. It was hard work, but we were well-supported by friends and family, both through practical help and prayers.

The day before we left:

We were happy to hear the lady from the agency say that she wished all flats were handed back to her in such good condition, and happy too to hear her offer to help us find a flat when we (probably) settle in Nancy again in 2020.

We are now at Marc's parents, and found someone (family of a friend) to buy our car at the very last minute!

Tomorrow we continue our journey on to the UK by train ... hoping we manage to carry all our luggage!!
