Back To Plan A

Morning

V. quick post just to update. 

We have been very fortunate in that a family member has offered us a two-birth caravan plus awning for sale and we have taken it. This means we can stay on site at the new house whilst hubs does the work, the boys can go to school on the bus and everything is much better. Making use of the outbuldings I can still use my usual frdige/freezer, slow cooker for when the nights start getting to casserole-time and the washing machine will be plumbed in down in the cellar.

Feeling much better about getting organised when we get there which was always going to be a bit stressful for me. Aaah.

Not sure how much I will be blogging in the next couple of days as we are planning on moving on Friday! Also not sure how long it will take to get the Broadband connected so may be a little while before I am able to post some photos of the new homestead after the move..

Wish us luck on our exciting new venture.xxx

  2. Louise , you will not regret it! We are about 30mins from Dawn, have 2 kids in school and we moved here from Kent and it was the best thing
    We have ever done!! We have been here 18 months and yes the move is hard work but the reward of living here well, I still pinch myself. Good Luck. Maria xx

    1. Thanks Maria. Yes, we are so very excited. This time next week the boys will be in school, life will be very different and we CANNOT wait. I was with friends yesterday and they said we were very brave as we are heading somewhere without friend or family connection, niether of us have jobs just yet but sometimes you have to just jump in with both feet and wing it for a while. This has been our dream for a long time and we are quite prepared to just take it as it comes and I am sure all will be well. We are doing this for our boys too and I am tsure they will thrive Lovely to have such fab support from people I have not met, yet?x

    2. We knew no one and had no relatives here either, but the people have been so lovely and of course school is a great way to meet people and ask where things and places are when you're new. Looking forward to your posts. Maria x

  5. Ha! Since I found Our Quiet Life In Suffolk (at http://frugalinsuffolk.blogspot.co.uk) I have had so many responses from lovely people about my moving that it has been a pleasure. I have never had so many comments as in the last month or so and it has been lovely. I am really looking forward to sharing our new adventure with all my lovely new friends who contact me through the ether!x

  6. Good luck Louise. I'm sure you will love your new life. Hopefully you will get sorted soon and won't have to stay in the caravan for too long. Looking forward to seeing some pics! Take care, Sarah x
