Description
The Lewis family is about to leave behind their cosy London home for a fresh start in a quieter city. For Emma, the move is all about planning and precision. For David, it's a chance to simplify life. For their children, Sophie and Tom, it's a rollercoaster of nerves, nostalgia, and new beginnings. With boxes piling up and emotions running high, a last-minute booking with a local man and van service brings Raj into their lives; a calm, cheerful driver who does far more than just transport furniture. From navigating narrow London streets in a Luton van to lifting wardrobes and memories alike, Raj becomes the unexpected thread holding the move together. As they wrap up rooms and pack away the past, each member of the Lewis family discovers something: moving house isn't just about changing postcodes, it's about shifting perspectives. Along the way, friendships deepen, plans go sideways, and even Sophie begins to feel hope about what lies ahead. Told with heart and humour, this short story blends the stress of house removals with the magic of fresh starts, all through the eyes of an ordinary family and the moving van company that made the journey possible. Perfect for readers who enjoy feel-good family tales with a slice of real-life chaos, and just enough bubble wrap.
