All the cartons are finally empty!  And nothing got broken – a minor miracle in itself.

This was a week of consolidating: I spend time in my sewing room, John spent some time in the study.  We got used to where we’ll do the shopping, ordered a bookcase and outdoor furniture, and we are test-driving some chairs for the dining table.  And we tried the local pilates studio out too.  And this afternoon we went for a walk and a drink at the local RSA where we were a talking point for the very small number of regular members.  It’s starting to feel like we live here!

Some photos to come!
