A Year in the Country.....!

A year ago we were packing up and moving from the Smoke - to the Country! so glad that we sold our house when we did!

Amazing that a year has flown by ....has it been worth it ? yes - the quality of life is better, the air is better, less evidence of crime( although I am sure it is here..) friendly people, but also we are only an hour away from Marylebone on the train, an hour on a Sunday and we can be in Selfridges ...the schools are better,... children can get a place at a pre-school without any problems...but we do miss the people...can all our friends move into the village please!

Nelly loves it here and I don't think she really remembers her time in London as she was only 20 months when we moved her; she remembers her friends but not London the place...and as long as she can alsway maintain her commection with London then I hope she will not hate us too much for moving out!

In time for the one year anniversary of being here we have just laid the stair carpet and that is the last thing to do in the house! ( garden not touched yet but the design done..and the conservatory still to be repaired ...)



The front door now....
