That's a good idea Chris,

Jean last time I moved I packed the unicorn and some other china in my suitcase and took it myself, should have done the same again!

We too have always moved fragile things by car. Bit difficult if you don't have a car though..

We did in one move 'lose' a huge old oval meat plate. Never did find out where that went.

Aunt gave me a tip years ago and there have been occasions when I used it - teapot spouts, fragile china, wrap with wet newspaper and let dry. Just have to soak it off at the other end.

Have move a few times, and always took the most fragile things in the car. When we didnt have a car< OH travelled in the back of the lorry to keep an eye on the dogs!

It was a china unicorn Amanda, given to me by my ex fiance, it's in fragments ( there's symbolism for you lol) and yet the package next to it was fine, there were 6 little glasses from the 60s in a stand... 4 survived , 2 didn't .

Just remembered that I saw one box fall off the hand trolley... pretty certain it was this one ( it was a printer box) so it was just the force of the drop.

Oh well, they are only 'things', the memory is still intact ( mostly lol).

xx

Oh Rose : (( Is whatever it was beyond repair ?

in the box you're unpacking, the one that you were careful of because it contained THE 'sentimental' item :( The only box it seems the removal men tipped upside down...top things smashed and yet the most repaired ( glued lol) fragile piece of victorian glass survived.
