Our new old house!

Just a very quick blog here with photos! Having posted these to Facebook last night, I remembered I should put them on here too, for those friends & family who are *not* on Facebook. We went down to England last week to spend a few days getting the house cleaned up and ready to move into. It's been vacant all year, so needed plenty of scrubbing and dusting, etc. Still more to do (of course!) but at least we got the floors all mopped and cleared out some junk, and kitchen cupboards cleaned (huge thanks to kind friends who came along and helped with that job! :-) ) Anyway, we got back home on Saturday night, so this week is mean to be filled with packing, ready for the removal company coming on Tuesday next week!

So, some photos of our new home! :-)

The main bathroom

Master bedroom

Abigail's bedroom on the top floor. If you're British, then it's the 2nd floor - to an American, that would be the 3rd floor! ;-) 

Deborah's bedroom, also on the top floor

Another view of Deborah's bedroom 

Benjamin's bedroom - also on the top floor.

What is to be Peter's office, on the ground floor at the back of the house - away from all the noisy main rooms! ;-)

Another view of Peter's office, with Fergus enjoying the view out the patio doors

Utility room! Yes, I've always wanted one of these rooms!! :-D

A spare room at the back of the house - which is likely to be used as storage for "yet to be catalogued" books

Looking out from the lounge to the stairs and foyer room.

A huge room, which is to be filled with shelves of books (the for sale/catalogued ones)

Dining room windows

The overgrown jungle of a garden! :-P

Yes, lots to do to tidy up the garden - but I think the kids will have lots of fun out there. They already have, even with all the high weeds! ;-)

A huge bedroom, for lots of little boys! ;-)

Boys' bedroom

View from Abigail's window in the top floor, with the ancient 13th century St Andrew's Church in the distance

Zoomed in view of the ancient church

Looking down the stairs from the top floor

Hall and landing on  middle floor

Looking down to the landing halfway up the first set of stairs. Built in seating?? and shelves for books! ;-)

Landing on the middle floor. I just *love* how filled with light the house is!


Well, better get this posted, and get on with more packing. Or perhaps some sleep would be good too?! ;-)
