Swift Move Reproduced

Swift Move Reproduced

It’s always great to move someone a second time (perhaps not for them as it can be quite an onerous task doing all that packing) . Greenbox Removals moved Anna about a year ago into a shared house...

Record Removal

Record Removal

It was only a little house move – a 2 bedroom back to back in Kirkstall – but there were plenty of boxes to keep us busy . Cath and Paul were as prepared as cub scouts – they were waiting at the...

House Moves, Comic Strips and No Awards….

It was a long day but Alvin and I did smile a lot on the way home, particularly at Jonah’s picture of me which makes me look a little like a worn-out but surprised Jesus. And why do I get the jeers...
