It’s time for house!

“It’s one o’ dem tings what is is dat wakes you up in the middle of the night, in a cold sweat wondering how it’s all going to come together…” To parody Eccles and Bluebottle

Nothing new in buying a house, well versed in the concept, but this time it’s a bit more of a thing than dem other things what is…

But let me not get into all that!

So here are some photos…

Below, the playground literally 30 seconds walk from the front door embedded in the “ancient woodland” that borders our new (hopefully) home. The kids can play here and I could call them from the back yard and they’d be able to hear me, well theoretically speaking. Practically, I can stand a metre away from them, speak directly into their eager faces and they don’t / won’t hear me… but anyway, the thought is nice.

The last bit of green grass near home – the approach from the park. Our place is not visible from here, we’re set one house away from the end visible here. Bugz standing in front of our back yard fence – ancient woodland on the left, lovely lovely. Approach from the road – we’re the house behind the Tudor in the centre of the shot, can’t see us from here, but the road is pretty too, don’t you think? IMG_1111

There it is, the one behind the Jeep! Hopefully the tree in front will be a bit more fuzzy when summer rolls around!

Lounge, not surprisingly. No more carpets – Hooray!

Standing in the lounge, and looking back towards the back yard, dining room first, then the conservatory where Hayley is standing.

And that’s it until all the stars, banks, tax clearances, credit scores, contracts, transfers and the billion other things, including a few ducks line up!
