Rollercoaster ride

We’re part way through moving house.  In a very real way now that we haven’t been since we started.  Last week, Monday I think, we received an offer on the house that we accepted.  After a little tooing and froing we had a revision done and a formal acceptance out, hopefully, yesterday if our solicitors […]

Winter at last

After waiting since I was seven years old, when the snow was up to my neck and we had to run home lest we be buried in the blizzard, we’ve finally had a proper winter day again, yay!  Britain has been buckling under the strain of up to 150mm (6″ in old money) of snow
