C'est Le Weekend: Day of Reckoning

This is it.
At 8 a.m. this morning, the removal company will be at our door and ready to go.
Will be taking a blog break until Monday because I can't imagine being able (or allowed by the husband) to post in the midst of this chaos.
Just to make everything a bit more challenging, we even went to Ikea to buy a new bed for us which will be delivered to the new house today, and then ended up renting a trailer as we found a good sleeper couch for our (ahem) guest quarters.

Guest quarters.
Never thought we'd own a house with guest quarters.
Bunch of plebs like ourselves.

Behind our house in the garden is an old barn that has been converted to an office with two kitchens and a WC.
The top floor will house the guest quarters (pronounced in a very affected way), and on the ground floor is an office for the husband, an art studio-cum-playroom for me and the kids, an archive and a kitchen.

Behold, our garden with house and barn.



It's going to be a tough weekend, but the move is inevitable.
No way out but going forward.
Through the park, and don't spare the horses!

  2. Oh I hear Dynasty's theme music everytime I gaze at our home, haha! It is lovely. All the space...
    The move went ok-ish, quite painless, I have to say.
    Don't understand why the previous owners wanted to leave!
