Polruan... and some exciting house developments!

We started the week a bit blue as our house sale moved into its 10th week. Nick's parents Jane and Dave invited us to spend a couple of days down in Polruan, Cornwall in a holiday cottage they were renting for the week.

Cornwall is such a lovely place. So picturesque. The weather was mixed, we had a couple of hot sunny spells but also some fog and torrential rain.

Then on Tuesday we got the call we had been waiting for... we'd exchanged! And the buyers wanted to complete on Friday! We perked up considerably and drove back to Hampshire on Thursday to get rid of the last few bits from the house. We thought it would only be a car load left - it was more like 2 cars loads to Nick's parents and three car loads to the tip!

So at 12.30 today we closed the door to our first house for the last time, with absolutely no regrets. Our van is currently at the garage having a service and will be ready tomorrow morning, so we'll be moving the stuff out of Nick's parent's and into the van.

Then on Sunday, we can drive off into the sunset. Finally!
