I hope they're happy too.....maybe......but certainly not as happy as you are that's for sure
Enjoy it! I'm the same here with these neighbours, they're all so chatty and friendly, and that's almost half the road, not just those around me, I know them all now. We were so shut away in our old house with the big driveway gates, so this open plan thing at the front has made a big difference to my socialising, especially when I'm chilling out on the balcony with a cuppa and Zena, it's all so perfick just like it sounds for you there.
Fantastic that you've set yourself up with a nice little job and a bit of cleaning, I'm sure it'll be a lot less taxing on you and hopefully a lot more lucrative too.
Just imagine if you had turned this offer down 6 months ago hey?!!!! You'd be kicking yourself wouldn't you. Enjoy everything Bev.xxxxx
Yes certainly a bit of heaven like you have H. A lot of the people round here remember me when I was a little girl and lived 20yrds down the road. Yes people just don't move from here and I have had lovely welcome cards from them.
Think they are glad to see the back of the woman who was here before. She will fit in fine in my old house

Its so nice to hear you being so upbeat and happy. Good luck with the trial I am sure you will pass with flying colours.
Thanks for the good luck wishes for tomorrow. I really do feel so happy and content now. It was worth waiting for.
I hope your move will go equally smoothly and that you will be as happy as I am.

It sounds great where you are now and hope it stay that way forever. I'm sure Lilly will like it too once she's sniffed everything and
got used to the new smells.
That other house wasn't mean't to be, but I was so desperate to get out of the awful area I was in. Fate dictated I should wait until this house turned up and I am glad I was free to take it.
My old neighbour text me to say it was all kicking off there again the other night and several police were trying to handcuff one of the trouble making families daughters while the family was shouting the odds. i don't miss it at all.

You sound over the moon with your new home. I am so delighted for you and Lily. You can make some shade with an umbrella or something and just think how lovely it will be in your garden in the Autumn and Spring sun
Isn't it amazing how your life has changed for the better by your house move
I couldn't be more happy or content Jenny. Everything just seems to be falling into place. Now just need that lottery win to top things off nicely.

Even better there are several jobs around for you as well.
So glad you did make the move
Its all working out so well. I can't believe how lucky I am.

You will be glad of that south facing garden in the long UK winter when the sun is lower in the sky and the sunlight helps warm your house and keep it looking bright and cheery - I never wanted anything other than S. facing gardens and even insist on S. facing verandahs!
Let's face it this long hot UK summer is a bit of a departure from the norm! I am sure you can find Lily a bit of shelter or make something for her out there once you have time.
Couldn't have worked out better could it - with the job stuff all falling into place too. Well done on that front. And the natives are friendly! You have done really well and I'm sure you deserve it too.
You've got the rest of your life to unpack the darned boxes girl!
The weather has been particularly hot this year but i will appreciate that south facing garden in the winter thats for sure. My last garden was North facing so it never saw the sun all winter which was awful.

Thank you and believe you me the unpacking is certainly not taking priority. That will be done bit by bit on wet days.

Welcome HOME.
Thank you, yes I didn''t realise it was this possible to feel so content. I am beginning to resemble the cheshire cat
