Wow, I can’t believe exactly a month has gone by since we moved in to our new home.
From the day we chose it, without even seeing the spot it would be built on, to the day we moved in, took exactly 6 months. We hadn’t set out to buy a new build. Or to buy something we hadn’t seen or to buy it without actually seeing anything else AT ALL. But it just felt right. And thankfully, now we are in, it still does!
I went to The Design Museum on 8 June, and as I came out the solicitor rang to tell me the house was nearly finished and that we had to complete on 22 June. Exactly 10 days later. Not a lot of notice! But luckily, I’d been pretty organised and had a removal company lined up and we’d done at least twenty trips to the tip to de-clutter and get rid of things we didn’t want to take with us. And other than being a bit of a rush, the timing was perfect as we were due out of our rented house on 2 July.
It’s a real new start moment. A fresh new house for us to make fresh new memories in. And the fact that there’s no storage yet, or broadband, or toilet roll holders or pictures up are only minor inconveniences in the bigger picture of the fact we’ve managed to buy a house. There’s a big long list of things I want to do, but I have to keep reminding myself that they don’t all have to be done at once.
Mind you, patience is not one of my strongest points!
