North Baddesley

We are back in the van today after a few weeks in our house prior to its sale. Weeks which were not without stress, due to the conveyancing system in England.
Ours was a straight forward sale with a very small chain, but in the end we were one day away from putting the property back on the rental market. It was a great relief to exchange contracts ten days ago and complete this morning.
We have seen some houses for sale in Chandlers Ford but will now step up our search for a new place near all our friends.
We had a fairly hectic last week prior to the completion of the sale. We enjoyed a lovely evening with all our neighbours over a bottle of wine or two in front of our log burner, followed by an evening at Ruta and Trevor's house with the Bitch and Stitch group.
On Wednesday two men and a van turned up to take our heavier kitchen equipment and our remaining stuff to a secure store at Dummer.
Thursday was spent cleaning the house prior to exchange, thanks once again to Syd and Jo for their assistance with our vehicle movements.
On Friday Karen stopped by the supermarket to buy a bottle of champers and we enjoyed a wonderful evening at Syd and Jo's (Thai curry outstanding) - many thanks for a great night.
We are now self isolating at Body Farm to make sure we are covid free prior to our flight to Brisbane on 10th FebEn savoir plus
