The new place.

I have now experienced moving house at both extremes - last year we moved countries, this year we moved to the next street. Both types of move involves a lot of boxes and a lot of debate over where to put things in the new place. At least this time we are gaining an extra room so finding a place for things has been a little bit easier.

So, welcome to our new home for the next year or so:

Have a look around:

Firstly, we now have a kitchen big enough for both of us to be in at the same time, in fact yesterday I think we were going for a record - 4 adults and 2 dogs all in the kitchen at the same time.

The lounge:

Downstairs there are 2 bedrooms and a bathroom:

Upstairs we have our own space - bedroom,

changing room and bathroom:

The patio doors from the bedroom lead onto a lovely terrace with a nice sea-view - and we get the early morning sun on our terrace - can't wait for the warmer mornings when I can sit out there in my PJ's with a cup of coffee and a good book - roll on Spring!

And so much garden for the dogs to play they don't want to come indoors - they were very unsettled for the first couple of days but now they really seem to enjoy being here and are always outside playing in the garden - they now have some grass to lay on, which is a novelty for them.

And as for not having a pool in summer, as Brinkley rightly suspects on his blog - Yes, Mum does have a plan.

More on that later........

......Tomorrow, New Year's Eve pirates!
