Moving on...

As I write me and my 3 lovely boys are getting ready to move from the town I grew up in and the place where we started our own family across the border into Bedfordshire. Hertford has been a wonderful place to live and although I know I will blubber when we leave I can not wait to have our very own proper grown up house, with stairs and a garden (having lived in a gardenless flat most of my life I am almost bursting with excitement!). Going upstairs to bed will be pure delight. We are already having a taste of the good life as two very kind people have let us stay in their ever so beautiful house while we wait for ours to be ready, all I can say is that a dishwasher is lifechanging and a MUST for our new house. The new house needs top to toe redecoration and I am going to try and source the bulk of it second hand to keep costs down, otherwise we will be 60 and still living with a suspended perspex ceiling in the kitchen (why oh why). Already purchased is a beautiful bed frame which would of cost over £500 new and we got for the bargainous price of £122 and a gorgeous Laura Ashley 'little truck' bedding set again for a pittance the normal cost. I am loving Ebay right now.

My lovely boys...

Despite a near catastrophe involving water and lots of it, we have had an amazing few weeks.

Thank you Adrian and Stella for sharing your beautiful home with us. Goodbye to Hertford and hello to Biggleswade!!
