Our House.

[FairTmiddlin]

Congrats on completing the long road that has been conveyancing. And welcome to Norfolk living, may the rest of it go without a hitch.

That is really good news you must be very relieved the hassel is over - just the big move to accomplish then that lovely feeling of being away on holiday that I've found always follows a house move. Happy days. Every good wish for your happiness in your new home.

That’s great news Ian and Marina. Hope it’s all smooth sailing from here.  

[YnysMon]

Brilliant news. Hope you’ll both be very happy in your new home.

Once we're  settled  in the house we will look at what to do with the boat.We love Sweetkingfisher, but no shore power and up top in all weather's most of the time.So perhaps a smaller with more mod cons or even a good day boat.

[YnysMon]

Hope you find your ideal boat solution. I suppose it will depend on how far you want to range on the Broads. I’m sure a lot will envy you if you have a boat based in Martham. Though I suppose you might want to get south of ‘that bridge’ occasionally. LOL.

[marshman]

I think I could happily spend what time I have left afloat, above the Bridge! Seen it all, done it all above and below in a variety of guises but sunny days out in a bygone landscape, and going back to to my own bed, sounds a bit like bliss to me!!!!

I shall probably never forget my best day up there - cranes, kingfisher, swallowtail, otter, marsh harriers in abundance, together with  of dragonflies and damselflies including a Norfolk Hawker - stuff in one day others dream of!! 

Magic for me!! Moored up taking it all in!!

[Chelsea14Ian]

Yes agree we are so lucky to be in perhaps a great part of Norfolk. We've  travelled  most parts of the broads  and will visit many parts again.We are in no rush, we want what's right  for house and boat.

[Chelsea14Ian]

Yesterday  afternoon  I met up with some workmates, for a farewell drink.Just as I got there my phone rang.It was from our Solicitor, to tell me compilation on our house and our house in Martham had completed. So we move Tuesday 26 October. We've  already started making  lots of call changing addresses etc. So after what in reality a short  time,six months, it's been stressful.

[SwanR]

Excellent news to have a moving date Ian. Lists and spreadsheets! We made lots of notes of who to notify so we could tick it all off. And then also a list of who you need to tell once you're in.

[YnysMon]

Excellent. Hope all goes smoothly with the move.

[FairTmiddlin]

Great news on the moving date. Let the hard work begin.

That must have been very welcome news. You must be getting very excited at the prospect of a new life ahead. Good luck with a smooth hitch free move and all happiness in the coming years.

Yes Jean,we've  made a list,checking it twice,Santa's coming to town.Sorry got side tracked,yes we've  got a list,done lots of phoning to change  addresses ,lots more to do.Today we arranged  delivery of some furniture we've  paid for.Then brought  a new toaster (94p),Thanks due to our points at Morleys.Also arranged for  sky too.So now until we move lots to do.No complaints . 

[Chelsea14Ian]

We're in at last.Wow what a day.The removal  company  got to our house  at 8.30 am. Very helpful,  we supplied them with tea,coffee biscuits .They made off before us.We completed at home(Belvedere) fairly quickly.,Just before  we made off.Only had confirmation about 14.30 this afternoon re Martham. Alan thankfully  picked  up the keys from Howard's. Place still in a mess. Still we're  here.Fish seemed to be okay.Tomorrow Sky fitted Thursday some furniture  coming up.Friday pick the cats up.Odd thing when we got here a chap was hovering around. He said this is odd.Up here there's not that many  of us.It appears  a letter addressed to us went to him.The reason being he's name Is Hathaway. Snap same as us .So We're trying  to relax. 

 

Some pics before  and after. Not much between the two.

[SwanR]

Congratulations Ian and Marina. Wishing you lots of happy days in your new home.  

[YnysMon]

Glad to hear you’ve made the move. Some busy days ahead whilst you sort yourselves out. Don’t overdo it, get out now and again and start enjoying your new neighbourhood.

 

[ExSurveyor]

congratulations,enjoy your new home.

[vanessan]

Good luck in your new home, I hope you settle in quickly and are soon able to find time to get out on the rivers. 

[FairTmiddlin]

As long as you have, somewhere to wash, somewhere to sit, somewhere to sleep and somewhere to prepare and eat your food. Everything else can wait until later.

Better to get used to the place, then place furniture, rather than plonk it and then have to move it twice.

[BroadAmbition]

Congratulations. Enjoy
