I am so excited to share our big news. If you're a regular around these parts you'll know that Ms L and I have been through quite a long period of uncertainty about our housing situation. After nearly 3 years in our beautiful home the owners decided it was time to sell up. That was around 9 months ago.
We embraced the adventure and considered a tree change. We realised that for now our hearts were deeply rooted in our local neighbourhood. We got our hopes up when we thought we'd found our dream place. Most recently we decided to put all the thinking and searching on hold and wait to see what the new owners wanted and whether they would offer us a new lease.
Late last week we found out that the new owners were definitely planning to ask us to leave. We realised it was time to go. Last Friday night we looked at the lovely house above and both instantly knew that it was right. Today we got word that it's ours, with a two year lease no less.
To top it all off it's got everything I wrote on my fabulously big list about my dreams for a new house - light and space, trees and birds.
OK, it's time to get packing!
Congratulations to you both - isn't it nice when the universe delivers!

My belated congratulations on finding the new home! (but I did hear about it on Ms. L's blog!)
ReplyDeleteThe new home looks really wonderful and I'm so thrilled that it had ALL the qualities you wanted in your new space. I'm looking forward to seeing the "house tour" when it's all put together =-)
