As I walk around our house tonight I realise it looks and feels different. It makes me nostalgic again. It's not that there is packing and boxes everywhere (although that is true), it's that there is nothing on the walls anymore. Most of our paintings, pictures, things hung on the walls have been taken down and packed up. It means that walls that used to have things on there are now white. That means they reflect more and so it feels so much brighter. It's a very visible difference.
We met with the landscape gardener tonight. Oh dear! He gave us an estimate at the beginning which was half of the quote now. And that's only for the top part of the site. Not the bottom. That's on top of this new quote. Eeeeek. Scary stuff. But I think with what we are doing, it is essential to the whole look. We just may have to do some things later, or cheaper or something. We're going to sit on it for a while and see what we think. At least this part of the garden isn't going to be done for a few months, so we can save up a bit more between now and then!
And good news for us. We have been told we can go through the rental tomorrow. Yes! I can't wait to see what we've gotten ourselves in to! Or can I? LOL! It will be good to have another look at the outside and go inside for the first time!
Talking of the new rental, I've decided I WILL definitely have a garage sale of my crafting stuff when we get over there. Probably in a couple of weeks. So watch this space!
Righto. Off to do nothing! I so need it! Catch ya again soon.
wahoooooooo it's getting exciting!!!!!!!!!!
