buy a cottage in the english countryside (read all 10 entries…)
We move in tomorrow 3 days ago

I can’t wait.

We are getting the removal men to pack our things for us and this has meant that tonight, our last night in our old flat, is like any other and we’re not surrounded by boxes. This is so worth the money to not spend the time and have the stress of packing.

We’re taking an air bed, duvet, pillows, hoover and some other items like the kettle up tomorrow and going to ‘camp’ in the cottage overnight.

Our furniture arrives the next day and by then we’ll have looked round it more and have an idea where we want the removals men to put our furniture.

I don’t know about the internet connection where we’re going so I may be off-line for a few days…

play the violin again
I can start doing this soon 1 week ago

I’ve been living in flats in London for the past 15+ years and sound travels so far and not everyone likes to hear practice. I’ve also been ill for all this time and although not fully recovered I’m better than I was.

Next week we’re moving to our own house and I won’t have to worry about the neighbours as long as I keep the windows shut ;)

I won’t be able to play for hours like I used to (I don’t have the time for a start but also don’t have the energy) but I’m looking forward to seeing what I remember after all this time.
