Oh, I know moving is stressful. That's why I'm not moving until early next year. '14 was just terrible so I'm aiming for a porridge bland '15. Then I'll be up to moving. I just want to get the house nailed down this year, especially the one I'm currently looking at. Deeded access to the river, a third of an acre, view and a garden that only needs some tweeking to be turned into a fantasy woodland. It even has a garage that will make a fine shop, parking for a vehicle and boat trailer and space for greenhouse. I gotta have this one!
Oh bear, that sounds great! Hope you succeed.
Bear, it sounds great. Go for it.
Although I was obliged to move out of the old place rather than choosing to, I am SO-O-O glad as this new little maisonette is much much nicer than I ever imagined. Now I realise that the old place had a miserable dark cold kitchen, while here it's sunny and warm. Although the house is about a quarter the size, too, it comes with a peculiarly large bit of land including a proper garden shed. I love gardening so that was one of the reasons I offered on this place. It looks right into a park; I can see Piglet running down to the swings out of the living room window. I thought it would seem tiny and squashed but it's very well laid-out, and Piglet likes it so much that the other day she said if she won the lottery she would buy us a new big house - but wouldn't sell this one as she wants to live here forever!
It's really exciting figuring out how best to fit up the new place, now that the mega stress of getting in here is thankfully over. I enjoy sourcing space-saving items, like I found a 'library chair' which is a wooden kitchen chair that converts into a set of steps!
You make it sound ideal, Duchess.
I like the idea of the garden shed. Can you get round all the walls ?
