Moving on

Yes, we’re moving………….to the other end of town with an even better view of the sea.

Not bad eh? After much hair pulling (mine obviously as Sean has none to pull), and numerous offers from exceedingly generous people to let us use their houses temporarily, we finally found the perfect place. It’s perfect for quite a few reasons; the situation; the outdoor space; the peace and quiet. So how did we find the place? Well, it found us. The house belongs to friends who are having to leave for a few years’ and as they knew we were looking for somewhere else, they offered it to us. It’s a win, win situation as we get somewhere great to live and they get the house and gardens looked after, not to mention the seven cats. Yes you did read that correctly – seven cats, which with our five of course, makes the rather grand total of twelve! Apparently the seven at the new place are ‘mainly’ outdoor cats with the emphasis being on the mainly. The house isn’t big, so twelve cats running around inside is just not feasible if I wish to retain some vestige of my sanity.
Moving day is set for a week on Thursday and should be a lot easier than our last move which of course was over here from England. Having said that, the slope down to the house isn’t the easiest thing to retain your balance on, so trying to do it whilst carrying boxes and furniture could be interesting to say the least.
So that’s the major news of the moment and such good news that I feel a major weight has been lifted off my shoulders. Roll on Christmas!!
