Hi everyone!!! Well......I knew when I logged in there would be hive of activity. Brilliant!!! 
Spring has sprung!!! and oh the possibilities!!!
How is everyone????
I was popping in because I wanted to share with you the most wonderful wildlife artist from the Netherlands that I stumbled upon this morning online. I was looking at his paintings and thought immediately of you all, and knew you would appreciate his work. Have a look at his website here....he's truly amazing.

Anyway, my news is, that its a full month on, and we are moving our of our family home this weekend. We are handing our keys into the estate agent on Monday morning. End of an era.
That 2nd house we were hopeful to buy also fell through...would you believe it!
Long story, but in the end the chap pulled out as he changed his mind and took the house off the market.
So, we are onto house number 3 now, and honestly, at this stage in the game I've become so cynical!! I almost am so blazé about everything now. lol!!!
We have gone 'sale agreed' on a house closer to our current home, and really suits us for a whole number of reasons....Not the lovely farmhouse we initially wanted of course, but this is certainly a lovely runner up!!! The garden is still big enough for our veg growing plans and other nature related stuff. i.e BIRDIES!!!!!
In fact, its amazing how things changed in those 6 months since starting into all this, we realise that yes indeed, perhaps it was a blessing in disguise that the first house fell through because our needs and expectations have changed even in those few short months. For one, our teenage kids have suddenly developed a massive social life, wanting to go here and there, so being near public transport wasn't something we considered when we first set out!!! Plus I can bus it to work or cycle if I need to....stuff like that.
Our survey is on Friday and everything hangs on what he reports. So fingers crossed AGAIN!!!! Third times the charm perhaps? As I say, I won't hold my breath until I'm putting a key in the front door!!!!
.
Anway folks, the sun is shining, the days are getting longer and there's a real buzz in the air. Enjoy the excitement....I envy you all....hopefully, next year will be my year. Catch ye soon.
