Lesley Posted April 27, 2006 Author Share Posted April 27, 2006 I certainly will Update and photos coming soon I'm in agony at the moment - trying to cheer myself up while waiting for painkillers to kick in! Too much painting, up and down the stepladder etc............. Pain from the pulled muscle now goes from my neck to my waist and i also have sciatica on the other side starting a few inches lower and running down to the back of my knee - I need a vet! - with a big gun First thing to be packed is all the electric fencing - no Jimmy's farm here Carl is just checking it now. We have a solar energiser but it takes 4 days to charge - we're looking at the quick way - hopefully with a battery charger I may be back here tonight - depends what my list tells me I'm doing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lesley Posted April 27, 2006 Author Share Posted April 27, 2006 (edited) I need plugging into a battery charger! WE DID IT! We picked up the keys at 12.30 and after we'd had a chat with the previous owners, we had a picnic, just looking out at the land. It was a glorious day here and so peaceful. We can hear traffic noise - but.......... NO NEIGHBOURS!!!!!!!!! - Bliss We collected Lauren and Jake from school and had a good look around. I think we will be finding hidden sheds for at least a year! We asked for 2 cats to be left but there are 3. The 2 youngest are brother and sister - and very young - and un-neutered We have to make friends with the little female very quickly and get her to the vet We ordered three little piglets today - we collect them next Friday. There is also a very old hen who lives in a barn. She potters around and doesn't bother anyone. She just has some corn each day. We called her Lucy. She is pale grey with a bit of a hairdo. My daughter and son-in-law, and son and girlfriend came over and we all had a meal and another look around, watching the sun set. Tomorrow will be very hectic but fun as well ( ) Clare is coming over on Saturday - she thinks it is just for a couple of hours but I'm going to imprison her - there's so much work to do We did it! Who needs Snowdon? If we could just harness Lauren to a lawn mower.... Can we have a pony??? Edited April 27, 2006 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lesley Posted April 27, 2006 Author Share Posted April 27, 2006 It hasn't sunk in yet It was only relaxed because we don't have to move everything all in one go - we have two houses at the moment. Martin - Lauren and Jake go to school in the village, they live at the other end of the village to us.............. well 2 miles away now I suppose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dogmother Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 Brilliant news Lesley and Carl. I have just copied this post into an email to Phil, hoping that he will be able to come and help as well on Saturday. I must tell Rosie that you are getting the piggies on Friday week - she was asking about them. Let me know if I should bring anything on Saturday. I will stay as long as I can, but we are going out that night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
