Some of you may have noticed that I have been a bit quiet over the past few months (not that its a bad thing!) I have been devoting a huge chunk of my time to moving house. The landlord dropped it on us that, after telling us that while we were renting the house he would never sell it, he announced he had put the property on the market again! This put us in a bit of a situation as we had not yet saved up enough of a deposit to be able to buy it off him. Also we didn't want to rent another house, only to get moved on again. We needed some security and so we decided to buy our own place.
Anyway, to cut a long story short, we decided to buy a house that we had our eye on since moving to the island. The house belonged to a couple of SWMBO's bosses and after a bit of toing and froing we settled on a price that we could afford. Its an old farmhouse and has a huge kitchen. Its in need of a bit of work but nothing that's scaring me...yet. Its a rolling restoration shall we say!
