It has been a crazy couple of weeks in my little corner of the world. We bid adieu to our old house, spent a short amount of time living with relatives and we are now starting to settle into our new home. All the things that drove me nuts about our former house are not a problem here because we have learned from our previous mistakes. Of course, in a new estate and newly constructed, we have landscaping to do all over again. Fortunately this time, we don’t have to do all the hard yards ourselves and can get some professionals in to do the stuff that took us f-o-r-e-v-e-r at the old place. A fresh new landscaping palette to work with and the possibilities are almost endless! And what’s better – this time we have side access to get machinery in! Woohoo!

It was a little strange saying goodbye to somewhere that I have spent a great deal of my adult life so far. It was my first real home that wasn’t shared with a relative and I enjoyed putting my stamp all over the place, inside and out. So goodbye no. 96 – it may have provided its fair share of challenges to us over the years in terms of getting it to be how we envisaged it but it was a good home. May the new owners enjoy the dividends of our hard work there for many years to come!
