… that the house is big enough and makes all my furniture look very child battered indeed! All except for crud is there and i’m looking round this house in horror! Cleaning party on for Saturday – drinks and nibbles provided, bring marigolds… any takers? 😀 And on another note, i’ve had a very decent […]

After 3 years, in 2 different houses, we’re moving out of the street. I’ve liked it here, it has a good middle-of-town feel to it and we’ve been particularly happy in this house, which is a lovely one. I can hardly believe we’ve been here over 2 years, the longest of any of our rents. […]

It was lovely. My second favourite bit of the […]

This isn’t even very long ago really but now Maddy is older than she was there!

We move one week tomorrow. Maddy is marking the days off on the calender 🙂 This is really quite an achievement for her as change can be such an issue but she seems genuinely excited. No doubt i’ll find her under a bunk bed in a day or two though. Anyway, the removals are booked […]
