Moving house is quite exhausting, first we packed boxes and threw stuff in black bags,it all started quite tidy, boxes labeled bags sensible and then it became a bit of a free for all!!! Now we are at the other end and unpacking is an interesting experience.
It has taken us this long to sort out internet so this is a delayed post... but we are now in a position to eat and cook in a fairly unpacked kitchen - to sleep in a reasonably unpacked bedroom - one where we can walk around the bed - have all our furniture and clothes in and still swing the odd cat if it should dare to venture that far... We have made the sitting room comfortable but as this is the room we are going to decorate first we are keeping everything to a minimum until that is sorted. It is however a nice room with a lovely big ornate fireplace and a cosy wood burner so it is still very pleasant to retire to when we are hiding form all the other boxes in the dining room, study , spare room and my new studio space!!! ( and the hall and landing...)
We have sold the garage - nice chap came in the morning and it was gone by tea time dismantled and loaded in a truck to go live with some American cars. Now we have enough room to park Beryl and my car and the flock of visitors we have had this week.. Its nice to have garage but we know from experience it just gets full of rubbish that some how we manage to accumulate so its not going to be a big loss.
It feels a little like we have moved into a mansion ha ha, we are just not used to having so much space but its very nice.... the decor needs attention, it has been very nicely kept and decorated but its not to our taste and part of my joy about having our own home at last is that freedom to do what we like to make our stamp on it. (Dr Fred is worried). its exciting especially now we have internet again and I can browse wallpapers and paint etc....
The garden is AMAZING - to be honest I'm a little frightened I have bitten off more than I can chew - but I bought Dr Fred a fancy hedge trimmer as a moving in present so thats one job I have managed to delegate. I keep wandering around and finding new treasures every time I go out. Although this garden is already beautiful - the previous owner was very passionate about it there is still masses of potential and loads of spots for den making and quiet hideaways.
We have been in just over a week and it feel very strange but really good, I love the power shower, I love the open space and I'm starting to make the kitchen space work for me. I cant wait to get in the garden but the weather has not been very kind yet!!
Meanwhile we have had to finish sorting out the old house and making it good as to how it was when we moved in - back to beige and clean and tidy - this is finally done and we hand the keys back tomorrow so this new chapter in our lives will begin in earnest .....
Decorating will commence!!! progress will be documented but first I need to catch up my uni work and give my final module a bit of attention....
