Moving House (again)

Ok todays the day - I sit here typing and just killing time until we go collect  the keys to our new home!!!!

Its very exciting... I cant wait to start this new project and have our own place to do what we want with and have the garden to work with.  We are very lucky the house has been well kept and is ready to move into - We just need to address some decorating issues really to make it our own space - and this will take time and thought.  The garden is already amazing and I'm looking forward to seeing it grow and transform over the next year - it has been much loved and I expect it to have surprises every month!!!

I have space to set up a new studio and Dr Fred has a nice study space to make his own - we are sorry to leave this lovely little house it has been a great space for a while but we realized it could be an an option for the long term... Dr Fred is really looking forward to a proper sized bedroom instead of the box room we use now of course the views are not quite so big skies but - I'm excited about cooking on gas ha ha its amazing how the little things can count... dining room, hallway, pond, wood burner, green houses, space .. space.. bring it on!!!

Meanwhile we are now in total chaos - two weeks of enjoyable festivities with non stop guests and little packing opportunities we are now rushing around like mad things getting everything sorted - we are surrounded by boxes and bags and the house looks very bare and sorry for itself - transition is a messy process but hopefully soooo worthwhile.

Scotland part 2

The second half of the week continued in much the same vein.  We had one rainy afternoon which was actually quite nice to be holed up in the house with the rain lashing the windows.  It probably wasn't quite so nice for the two visitors that came on their bikes but they're tough cookies - and its only water- but I did feel sorry for them having to cycle six miles back down the track in the wind and rain, but given Scotland,  it wasn't as bad as it could be.

Funchal

So after three days at sea we finally hit Funchal in Madeira.  An escape from the ship, and I have to say it was very pleasant indeed.  First of all the weather is really splendid.  Especially when you know that everybody else in the UK is suffering grim storms and vile winds..  Over here it is between 22 and 25 degrees is really quite warm.    Funchal is a pretty city. It's built on a hill it with lots of lovely white houses with stunning red roofs.   In order to get the best of it we walked along the sea front until we got to the cable car and we took it up the hill.  It was a really good ride much longer than we imagined and it's quite weird because it goes right through the town -  completely over everybody's house...  So not only do you get a lovely vista of the bay but you can view the beautiful rooftops and get to look in everybody's gardens and to look at their picnic sets.. clean washing nice plants... scratty backyards.... We got off th
