A proper post, with pics
Sep. 30th, 2015 02:44 amAside from pesky health stuff as always, the main thing that has happened is that we have finally moved house. It took a year to sell the house after Jon was made redundant, which he spent driving over the Pennines and back every day. There were lots of hassles with the sale, and we ended up moving out of our old place before we could move into this one, and at the end of it all I felt like I'd personally picked up every box and walked here with it *g*
On the positive side, my beloved has a better job which he enjoys greatly, and I finally get to live in Yorkshire!
The house is weird, because the front rooms feel like you live in a town (apart from the rather rustic stone walls and huge fireplaces) because there are cars going past, but the back has cobbled lanes, cows, a nice view of the valley and sometimes a visiting rooster, with or without his companions. Oh, and a bat. We've named him Eric, but he's camera shy, I'm afraid.
The cows have apparently been known to not only wander up the lane on occasion, but also venture onto the road at the front, so there's something to look forward to *g* So far no cow escapes have been spotted since our arrival, but I'm watching them. Actually, the dogs are, they are obsessed with the cows. If they go for a walk and the cows aren't in the shed as usual, they go looking for them and are only satisfied once they've seen they're safely in the barn or out in the fields.
Anyway, I have been recovering from the move in my new rather farmhouse-ish kitchen, enjoying a much improved view, and occasionally forcing myself to unpack another box. We'll get to the end of them eventually, and I am never, ever moving again. I hope!
