Back on line in our new home!
We moved sucessfully into our new home on the 27th March. I managed to pack most of the items into 6 boxes, transport them here and unpack them in about 5 trips. John came with his big trailer later and as we were only moving 1/4 mile away we didn't bother to fasten any of the big furniture down. It was interesting when we went around the one corner on the way to the house! But it's lovely to be here in our own little marital home finally.
It's such a warm, lovely, huge property. I've still not quite got used to the size of it but it's a proper sod when you've just come from the top floor down to the bottom and remember that you left your keys on the top floor! But I think the exercise will do us good!
It's still a bit chaotic over a month later. Nothing else has been done in this house and the stairs and middle bedroom are just as they were on the 23rd March. I can't believe we've been in so long already! Nothing else is due to be achieved until we finish re decorating the cottage and sorting out the bathroom after we ripped it all out so that the tenant can move in on the 20th May. Renovation never stops in Bawtry!
It's lovely to finally have a dining table and we find ourselves using the kitchen and the bedroom as the main rooms in the house. Very rarely do we use the living room and bathroom for some bizarre reason. The shower in the en suite that we said we would never use unless we had visitors is the most used shower in the house as it's just so convenient.
The cats have settled in. Oscar is at home anywhere but it took Jake a little while to settle. Jasper the ferrel cat came a week later when I managed to catch him and after 2 weeks being inside and getting comfortable he now loves to live above the outside toilet during the day and visit home at night. He loves the space under the kitchen cupboards.
We will be glad of a rest and we have decided to go on holiday once the cottage is finished and the tenant has moved in. We need a holiday of the type where you sit on your backside for a week and do nothing but laze. I can't wait!
Once the cottage has been completed I shall take pics of this house as it is complete with furniture etc.
