My memory would be £10,000-£15,000.
Mostly it was sentimental stuff, I know we shipped cutlery, paintings, a very small number of books, clothing etc. But roughly speaking we'd got rid of anything and everything we could easily replace.
(And it has to be said that the pair of us carried a few suitcases for our flights, we'd filled those with plants and other fragile items.)

- stevekemp 6y agoI was in a long-distance relationship with a Finnish woman for a few years. After a while she'd start packing/bringing a couple of small plants with her each time she visited. Nothing too exotic, just things like spider-plants and some indoor vines. She'd lightly-wrap them with newspaper and then stick them in the middle of her suitcase surrounded by clothes. So pretty much all the plants we took from Scotland to Finland were ones she'd already moved in the opposite direction a year or two earlier! I know some countries have restrictions on plants/animals and similar things, but it never seemed to be a concern for her travels.
- hvidgaard 6y agoThis is heavily restricted to avoid importing invasive plants. It's often some innocent behaving plants that end up completely taking over in the wild.
- justinclift 6y agoHeh Heh Heh Don't do that if you visit Australia. They'll (for real) throw you in jail if you bring in plants or animals without a permit. ;) https://www.agriculture.gov.au/import/goods/plant-products/how-to-import-plants https://www.agriculture.gov.au/import/goods/plant-products/h...
