We finally managed to move house at the end of August!
It's now the end of October and the house is still in chaos, as we are in the middle of having it re-wired. We also still have loads of unpacking to do, not even contemplating re-decorating until after Christmas. We got heaters in and working last week, which is brilliant as it is getting cold (I feel the cold a lot, so was basically freezing all day!) We also have a wood burner, which I love.
There are about a thousand things to sort out/fix/replace in the house, but we can't get everything done at once. So a lot of it will probably have to wait until next year. The next big things to sort are the gutters, the plumbing (we have hot water sometimes, not as often as I'd like) and the leak in the conservatory roof.
There is a lovely field next to our garden, which sometimes has horses in! We also see rabbits and pheasants in it fairly regularly. I still find it quite exciting to see these animals just outside the window. I met the farmer who owns the horses, he seems nice. We are also very close to the New Forest, which is really lovely.
Most importantly, the bath in the garden was not actually a bath. It was just a wierd pond. The pond has now been drained, but we need to actually get rid of it at some point.
Despite all the chaos & mess everywhere at the moment, I'm glad we're here.
