A Year

  It has been almost a year since we moved house. Feels like that long since I wrote something here too :) . In that time we've gained a cat, lost a hamster, repainted 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, planted about 200 bulbs, 15 trees, dozens of plants and bushes, chopped down several trees, put in a new well pump, set up 3 different patio areas, gone on holiday to celebrate 20 years of marriage, got a work bonus for the first time in a long time and countless other things that happen in just one year.

  Strange when you think of it that way, just listing out all the things that have changed and happened in a year. Then you think that so far I'm close to having had 43 years. That is a lot of stuff to happen, that has happened and will still happen. It has been a good first year here, a slightly rocky start with noisy neighbour but it is all quiet now and we have found our groove of how we like to live. Easy days, lunches at Jimmy's, quiet evenings together. All around really good.

  The only downside to being here a year? A visit from the dreaded mother in law in just over a week. Speaking of which she has just appeared on Skype and has already antagonised my wife. Not bad for 60 seconds....
