We have been here about 7 weeks now and are enjoying it very much. We haven't unpacked every box, but gradually things are finding their place. The two upstairs front rooms are our offices, with a spare bed in each to allow for visitors.
I love the non-horizontal floors upstairs and the odd corners and angles. The kitchen is lovely- so spacious and welcoming.
None of our neighbours(Scottish Power yard, Health offices) or near-neighbours (cinema/pub/nightclub)have caused us any inconvenience. We have really enjoyed being so close to shops and failities. I have loved the fact that I don't have to tell Andy to turn down the television or hi-fi in the evenings, as there is no-one to hear!
One of the things that happened just after we moved in was that the Tour of Britain cycle race started a leg in the carpark just opposite our house. The riders even came past our window!
We are beginning to notice the many draughts in this house, now that the weather is getting colder. If you stand in front of the french doors in the kitchen on a windy day, you can fell a steady breeze blowing on your face! We will tackle them, one by one!

We're moving in on Thursday 2nd September!
We can't wait- although we could do with a Startrek transporter to beam stuff across, as it seems a pain to have to pack things so carefully to move them only one tenth of a mile!
We are walking "hard to pack" stuff across every time we go. I wonder what the Newtown inhabitants think of us wandering backwards and forwards with two table lamps, or a loo roll and a bucket with a house plant in it!
Tomorrow is the day for the BT switch over and the removal men come at 8am on Thursday.
We have put up a range of curtain rails, door bolts, door stops, loo roll holders and towel rails, but still have more to do.
Today, we drew the rooms on graph paper and cut out furniture blobs drawn to scale, to see what we could fit where. We managed to fit everything in, although the additional boxed "stuff" will add a lot of bulk. I daresay we will manage somehow!
The phone number will be the same, we think/hope!
Looking forward to seeing you all here soon.
