Thank you!<br /><br />Mags, I can't find anything and I also forgot to unpack the dishwasher (eek! hope the stuff was clean) but other than that it went well!<br /><br />Debs, it has been a saga, as you know. I'm glad its over now!<br /><br />Jeanne, thank you - I may even get some gardening done here, although it will be a while before the house looks anything like yours!<br /><br />Liane, thank you, that's very kind of you!<br /><br />Jane, yes, it does bring all that back and I thought of you when we moved in because for a while I thought we were bonkers taking this on!<br /><br />Elizabeth, I'm hoping to do a bit less hostessing and a bit more gardening. I shall be asking for tips too!<br /><br />Frances, thank you. Tom was very pleased to hear about his physicist! We still can't get over seeing him at the Met that night!<br /><br />Elizabeth, thank you -we're glad the waiting's over.<br /><br />Lins, we do feel very lucky as the location is lovely... the house needs some work though! See you soon, I hope.<br /><br />Flowerpot, it's been a mad rush but it's lovely to be here. Thanks m'dear!<br /><br />Fennie, we have indeed sat in the sun which has been truly lovely... although it's raining today.<br /><br />Sheepish, I'm still trying to find things. We packed in such a rush I don't know where things are.

Now we can't find anything, ah well, we're here!<br /><br />Posie, thank you... ooh, that would be good, wouldn't it?

You're on the move? Wonderful. How far? Travel broadens the mind, or so they say. Maybe not so much the travel as the time spent at a foreign destination. Bungalow. Indian word. But of what language? Does it have a veranda? On which to sit in the languid afternoons and take tea and tiffin? And dream up your plots in a white dress and sun hat? Very well done.

How wonderful to be making this move as spring arrives. <br /><br />I'm looking forward to some photos, and perhaps Tom will be adding some pictures to you future posts.<br /><br />As a sideline, please let Tom know that his Japanese physicist is appearing daily on morning ABC television new programs. I wish that the professor was appearing due to happier developments for our planet.<br /><br />Don't let that last paragraph dampen my happiness to hear about your happiness.<br /><br />xoFranceshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08352407314710067616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8666908446822278106.post-58244170809294335652011-03-15T15:42:32.950-07:002011-03-15T15:42:32.950-07:00Yes!

Somehow I didn't expect that it would be this quick - the see you there mates kind - but I'm glad it's the kind of thing you've been looking forward.<br />Glad you didn't marry Bloke Billy but Tom who find your dream house (or one of the kind) ;).<br />I could relate with all you said about growing up and craving our friend's homes. Of course you were a precocius Martha Stewart :D and did it for the - what was it? - split-level living room with a conversation pit ;) while I only craved them living there so if I lived there I'd be living with them ahahahahahah.
