lizblog: Moving house

I even have room for a friend to sit and chat in the new place!

So .... here we are in our new home. Already it feels more like home than the other house ever did. It's bigger, pleasanter and just feels more friendly. It seems longer than a few days that we have been here and I suppose we have achieved a lot, but I am impatient to get everything ship shape and tidy. We've spent quite a lot of money making things as we want them. Firstly painting everything either cream or white, it makes a nice plain background for whatever we wish to add and beats the green and pink which predominated before. We have just about all our stuff here. There are a few oddments still in the old place which need to be picked up. At least everything is out of storage, though the boxes are stacked into all the little store places and awaiting unpacking.

Here some rooms are pretty much sorted out. The kitchen was until I brought some more from the old house tonight and messed it all up again. The bedroom is OK as are the bathrooms. My study is all sorted and it provides a welcome haven from the mess in the lounge. The spare bedroom will have to be sorted very soon as we are to welcome our first guests this weekend. Ruth and Louise are coming to visit and I am looking forward to showing off our new home.

We have a kitchen that we need to walk around, so big that we have bought a new round table and 4 chairs to go in it. There were three easy chairs and a settee when we moved in, not exactly our choice, but better than the old one which was getting rather worn out. Andy has been busy buying things to get his shack up and running and until he achieves this the lounge cannot be sorted out. So, with a house warming planned for the beginning of November, things will continue to be sorted and straightened.

We owe big thank yous to many of our friends for fetching and carrying, unpacking, making , fixing and mending and being generally helpful. Without you all we would not be as organised as we are.

So ... we look forward to seeing as many of you as can make it on November 3rd ..... 2pm onwards.
