Goodbye to Our Family Home

from How Great is Britain · host How Great is Britain

🎧 New episodes Every MondayIt’s the last few days in our family home — and somehow everything is happening all at once. We wrapped up our final garage sale (where even a professional garage-saler wanted our “trash”), only to realize that our “timely” plans were anything but. Cue late nights cleaning until 4:30 a.m., frantic trips to the dump, and donation runs to clear out what was left behind.Then came the big moment: signing the paperwork to sell our house and emptying it out at the very last second — just as the new owner pulled into the driveway. Talk about timing.Now that the house is no longer ours, we’re trying to slow down and play tourists in our own town before our international move to the UK begins. But of course, there are still boxes to sort, forms to fill, and plenty of loose ends to tie up.In this episode of How Great is Britain, we share:• What to do when a professional garage-saler wants your trash• How tiny sunglasses let you get away with anything• The difference between moving internationally vs domestically• And how traumatic is it to throw out those plugs and wires you’ve been holding onto for a decade or moreSo join us as we wrap up one chapter, stumble into the next, and try to catch our breath along the way!Take care,Gemma & Brett📺 Watch the full video on YouTube: ⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@HowGreatIsBritain⁠⁠#MovingAbroad #MovingToEngland #ExpatLife #InternationalMove #FamilyMoveUK #SellingOurHouse #MovingWithKids #ExpatFamily #LeavingTheUSA
