Temp Flat

On the 28th of November 2005, we left for London, arriving on the 29th. Eddie accepted a position with his company in Langley England as a product manager for the fares group in the international markets. His company paid for our move, temporary housing and car. We had 30 days to find a permanent place to live. We found a flat in Windsor the first week.

New Furniture Shipped to England: This is new furniture we bought to have shipped to England. On a previous trip, we looked at furniture stores and found that the price for good quality furniture was very expensive. It turned out to be much cheaper to buy furniture in Colorado and have it shipped over. The move was paid for by Eddie's company, so it did not cost us anything to have it shipped.

Packing up the Basement: This is some of the fitness equipment the packers wrapped up for the move. They completely wrapped everything we were shipping over. They wrapped each individual weight plate, weight bar and other pieces of equipment. Health clubs are expensive to join in England, so we decided to ship our weights so we could work out at home and not have additional expenses.

Temporary Car: Eddie's work gave us a VW Beetle as a temporary car until we were able to get a bank loan and buy our own car.

Temporary Flat in Windsor: This is our temporary corporate flat at Knights Place in Windsor. It is about 10 minute walk to the main shipping area in Windsor. The flat is very nice, good security and underground private parking. We have a 2 bedroom flat with seperate kitchen, dining area and living room. the courtyard of the complex is very nice.

Interior: Kitchen showing washer/dryer. The w/d only has room for about 2 pairs of jeans in one load. It will wash, then dry, and one load takes about 2 hours to complete. Chris reading a magazine in the living room. One of the two bedrooms.
