After adjusting to life in retirement, Kay, 64, has now taken the plunge and is moving out of the family home.
To celebrate an "end of an era" the former journalist posted a slew of pics of her with her son Wolfie, 32.
Kay shares her only child - who's real name is Alexander - with her ex-husband, Steve Kutner.
Captioning the heartwarming snaps, she wrote: "End of an era. Moving day from Harrow on the Hill.
"I have spent half my life in this street and my son @wolfiekutner has spent his whole life here.
"He went to school a stone's throw away from the front door and we often had a house full of his schoolmates playing cricket in the garden.
I\" spent most of my working life at Sky based in this street. I remember being woken by my head of news and driving up the road in the dark on 31st August, 1997 not knowing what the day would bring - it was the morning Diana died.
"We will leave many memories behind.
LEAVING SKY NEWS
Kay announced she was leaving Sky News on her final show in February.
Addressing viewers at the end of the show, she said: "From a standing start to one of the most recognised and valued brands in global news, it's been an honour and privilege to work with some of the best and hardest working teams in the business.

"News by its very nature is often devastating and together we've covered so many life-changing events - from the tragic death of Diana, the shocking terror attack of 9/11; the Asian Tsunami; the Concorde air disaster.
"But we've also enjoyed some wonderful high notes too, haven't we - the thrill of London winning the chance to host the 2012 Olympics; a plethora of royal weddings; jubilees and who can forget days and days and DAYS waiting for royal babies to arrive at the Lindo Wing.
"But after over a million minutes of live TV news - more than anyone else in the world - its time for me to indulge in some of my other passions - including my love for travel.
"So, after covering 12 separate general elections - including Sir Keir Starmer 's victory last year - I am retiring from Sky News - let politicians of every party just rejoice at that news!

"Thank you for waking up and tuning in every morning. I can't tell you how much I have appreciated your support over the last three and a half decades: You're awesome.
"I will post more on my social media and hope to see you around. Please keep in touch."
CAREER IN THE SPOTLIGHT
Before leaving in February, Kay had hosted the 24-hour rolling news channel's breakfast programme for the last five years, moving from her afternoon slot in 2019.
She first joined Sky when it launched in 1988 and claims to have hosted more live television than any other broadcaster.

Kay soon became the face of Sky News for major world events, such as the death of Princess Diana, the births of the Royal babies and the 9/11 terrorist attacks.
Sky bosses took Kay off air for six months in 2020 after her birthday bash flouted Coronavirus lockdown rules at the time with the anchor apologising for the "error of judgement".
As well as hosting live TV, Burley published her debut novel, First Ladies in 2011, which was followed by her second book Betrayal in 2012.
The anchor's career first started in BBC local radio and Tyne Tees Television.
She then joined ITV 's TV-am in 1985 as a reporter and occasional newsreader.
