The Big Move, a Comedy of Errors Richard Charles

We all know that moving house is one of life's most stressful activities. This couple decide on a courageous "big move" from their home where they have lived for thirty-four years in Long Island, New York, to a gated community area in Gilbert, Arizona. In readiness for the sale, they get some improvements made to their current house and fix some outstanding problems. Sounds like hard work? It was, from battling with unreliable building professionals to fighting off a persistent raccoon very much attracted to their garbage cans. The couple might have hoped for a break when it came to settling into their new property. But no - the "comedy of errors" continues. There is a delay in delivering their new furniture, the new garden plants die, the blinds don't fit in the bedroom windows. The problems pile up. Will they ever breathe a sigh of relief and finally settle down to enjoy the beautiful weather and landscape of Gilbert?
