Snow Snow Snow falling hard with strong winds blowing around the house making rumbling noises on the night before we are intending to pick up the keys and we suddenly go from a one house family to a two house portfolio and on our way to becomming landlords and more importantly living in a house we have chosen for ourselves.
Thats the key part of this. A house we chose. Not an ex council house allocated to us by the local authority. We had a choice in this, we liked this house, we liked the area and we chose to live there...now we have to make those choices work.
The night before we are due to pick up our keys and a blizzard is blowing and its freezing cold with a snowfall of 10 centimetres predicted which will probably settle!!
I am expecting us not to be able to get to Cambourne and am resigned to having another day to pack and clean the house a bit but knowing Richard he will want to try and get there and claim the house as ours/his. I am not prepared to risk my life on snowy roads or risk getting stuck there with no bedding etc.
Another day of packing will be useful and it is one Richard could really use himself as he has packed only two boxes and both of them just contained paperwork from under his bed. Whereas I have packed slowly and systematically for several weeks and have packed up the whole house leaving only the essential things we use daily left to pack including this computer. Even these few things will take time to pack up and I predict a busy few days ahead.
At least after lunch tomorrow I can concentrate on house rather than house and work which has been very busy and demanding and I am enourmously looking forward to two weeks off work.
When I return to work I have a new office to go work from based in Saffron Walden which is a lovely town and much nearer to our new home than Harlow would have been it all feels like it is falling into place just perfectly.....
Apart from the snow
