Windows! Space! VIEWS!

Well, well, well. We are here….at last. Mostly just us and a few bits and pieces. I am waiting here for the truck to arrive, and the grandparents to arrive to take the kids off our hands {children and moving/unpacking do NOT mix}. Last night we made do camping on the floors of our new rooms, but I am desperate to get our stuff in here.

I am also keen to see just how small everything will look. Boy have we got some space. I tell you, the main living room is the same size as our entire terrace that we lived in before. I’m not kidding. Our stuff is going to swim in here!

Harper is fuh-reaking out over all this space. She is quite overwhelmed by everything, so very much looking forward to a Grandma to take her off my hands so I can get stuck into it. Daisy is almost entirely sure that Tinkerbell will be visiting her at night as she has a picture perfect window with a vine around it in full bud ready to burst with pink flowers. Quite the change from bars on her window and a main road. isn’t it?

I may or may not {OK may} have cried when we arrived yesterday and we walked around the garden. It was a mixture of feeling like I have finally come home, to my home, to where my heart feels happy and content. The garden was so beautiful, the trees in blossom, the sky extra blue, the sun extra bright, Daisy running around and I was filled to the brim with excitement. Anticipation. Gratitude. I cannot believe that this is ours. That we have done this. That this, is our life.

So. Here we are at the beginning. I have a feeling this is going to be one hell of an adventure. And I think I am going to enjoy the view…
