We're Moving House!!

We're moving- how exciting!  We sold our house a few weeks ago, very quickly I must add.  Taking the wise advice of our wonderful Estate Agent (sorry, Real Estate Agent) Kaaren, we spent about 6 weeks prior to putting the house on the market de-cluttering, painting and putting right all the cracks and squeaky doors.  We even went to the expense of putting a granite work surface into the kitchen, at the time it seemed like a crazy thing to do but given the short time it took us to find a buyer, it was all well worth the time and effort.

We're both very excited to be moving, it is something that we have been planning and talking about for what seems like years but now, all of a sudden, our move date is just around the corner, two weeks away to be exact.  This would all be fine if we had our new home to move into but we are having a house built and currently it is literally a pile of dirt....lovely dirt of course but not yet the kind of dirt that you can call home.......not until August or September anyhow.

Embracing the situation with a smile through gritted teeth we are making the brave, and some may say crazy step to live on board our boat Jubilee until the house is ready.  I have to admit that this was originally my idea but as the reality of living in a space of about 32 feet with two dogs and a baby is hitting me I'm getting somewhat anxious about it all.

Jubilee is a beautiful Island Packet cruising sailboat and I am hoping that she will also be a wonderful home to us for the next few months.  We spent time last weekend moving non-essentail items off the boat to make room for our bits and bobs....she seems postiveley spacious now......!?
