Here we are, can't find anything :-)

A very smooth move and lots of credit to a brilliant set of solicitors and two fab independent estate agents Plumm Properties and Marshall Vizard.  Bet you don't hear that very often but everyone was very decent and the whole process took less than two months from offers to getting moved in.  The removals team were also brilliant Diamond Removals and definitely deserve a plug.

So here we are at Totternhoe and the only thing I'm struggling with is not being able to find stuff.  It's my first day back at work tomorrow and I have no cycle helmet or hi vis jacket.  I do have work clothes and shoes so at least that is a plus. 

It has been bright and sunny pretty much since we arrived, this has been the view across the garden, I have contemplated it for some time and am still not sure how to make it work yet but am waiting for some inspiration and a large digger perhaps :-) It is much steeper than it looks from this picture and I spotted the first hardy walkers behind the trees heading off for the Knolls on Sunday.

 

At the front of the house we have been watching the gliders taking off and the red kites out practicing their own gliding across the fields.  The crows (or they might be rooks ) gather in the late afternoon then fly over to roost in the woods.

 

 

Haven't had too much time to be sad about leaving our old home but did have a couple of moments looking out on the garden and my fabulous shed when I had finally finished cleaning the house.  The garden had been nothing much when we arrived in fact it had been the place that I was fondest of and where most of my memories were at their strongest.  This was taken from the upstairs window probably Spring 2000 since some lavender had been planted and Tess cat was still youthful.

 

 

This was how things looked last Tuesday when I left.  (Without the cobweb I must add)
