I'm back online again...

Had a few problems getting the internet to play nicely in the new house, but it did mean that I had no alternative but to get the boxes unpacked, stuff put away and everything in its place!! ;)
Just a few days and we will be heading home to Scotland for our leave.... I'm asking my friend Sarah to get the smoked streaky bacon and bread all bought and in the fridge ready for me so that I can get the grill going and have a bacon sarnie as soon as I arrive home!! Mmmmmm... yummmmm!

This is the mode of transport they appeared with to move us with.... I have to admit.... I was totally unimpressed to have my belongings plonked onto the back of a flatbed truck without so much as a canvas to cover them.... I mean what did they think I was a hill billy? Anyways, everything arrived in one piece and nothing got lost or broken so I guess that makes it ok?? ;)

Our first night in the new house and we had the most glorious sunset to look out upon...

This is the beach at the new compound.... and of course that sign doesn't say no photography allowed!!!

So this is the new place... be it ever so humble... its home for now!!

  8. I guess compared to the previous place this one looks modest but it still looks great. Glad all went well with the move.

    Have to say - your life seems terribly busy and exiting! It was so nice to catch up on everything that you did the past couple of months.

    Hope to get back to being a regular blogger again now.

    Hugs

  11. Oh Hun...sorry you had to experience the local movers. Though it looks like yours was better packed than my first experience with these fellas!

    Glad the move went well, seems to be the nature of things here. We move three times in our first 2 years here.

    Have an awesome holiday and a sarnie for me when you get home.
    Get in touch when you get back in Kingdom and we'll catch up!
