well strictly speaking I am not a native of Yorkshire but my hubby is and I lived there for over 20 years.
Hubby is Farndale born and bred. The famous daffodil dale. In fact the daffodil walk which attracts loads of visitors every year runs along the river which borders the farm he was brought up on.
We lived in Pickering where the North York moors railway runs from. 20 minutes from scarborough

Hi Geraldine, contact Ian Robery on info@kerianworldwide.co.uk. For some furniture and boxes to go of 7 Cu Ft approx he quoted £340 + VAT which was a third of the nearest quote.
Hope this helps and good luck with your move. Gina.

Hi, What a gorgeous part of the county to live.

My uncle, Jack Scott, had the 'Buck Inn' at Wrelton for a lot of years, it had a petrol pump on the forecourt and a stags head on the front of the pub above the door. !! After his death, my auntie lived at The Box Tree cottage in Sinnington.

I went to work for the Poskitts on their farm up at Cropton when I was 16.

My sister has a holiday cottage opposite the entrance to the railway.

We went upto the Dales last Friday, Bedale, Leyburn, Aysgarth, Hawes. Such a lovely place, even in the rain.

wow what a small world.
My hubby knew Jack Scott and the Poskitts.
The petrol station and pub were taken over by Chas Atkinson who my husband also knows very well.

Wow!! I often wondered what happened to the Poskitts.
We went upto Pickering a couple of years ago and called at the pub, there was a black and white photo on the wall, of my uncle at the bar with regulars, looking at a massive tower of pennies stacked up!! Unbeknown to me, my partner asked if he could buy the photo from them as he was related to me, but the land lady said as they didn't know him I could have it!! I think they had just taken over so it may have changed hands.

Small world indeed.

thanks for the warning about papers and carrying goods in the car. We probably wouldn't send anything with the car as we have found a first class shipping service to take out anything from one box to a full house full of furniture for an exceptionally low price. A business collegue uses them regularly and has good service. We can send out half a container for £360 inclusive of collection and delivery door to door.

Will research the French port option. I suspect Marseille is a stop but will check.

Arranging this sort of trip sound simple but is anything but actually.

i know it been awile but do u have a web site or number for the compamy that sends over boxes please
