I’ve slept in five different beds in five days and haven’t been able to log on but now we should be home for a while. We’ve enjoyed our time away. We attended an endurance ride, an 80th luncheon and a 75th sundowner and also checked out some furniture and white goods for the new home we’ll be moving into soon.
We weren’t able to go through our new home but I took photos of the front and back of the house. We went through the display home of the same design and took measurements of the fridge/washer space, etc. A fortnight tomorrow is settlement and also the day we move.
I’ll head off now to check out some of your posts although I won’t be long out of bed. The photo is of the house from the village side and shows the main bedroom on the left and the double garage on the right. You can see there is very little space down the left-hand side. On the extreme left of the garage, a door leads to another narrow space down the right-hand side of the house.

Its cute but tiny compared to what you are used to. Those houses are very close together. No parties without inviting all of the neighbors.

Hi Judy, I am just now back and surprised to see you are moving. But we have pretty close neighbors too and no problems.

@JudyEv I understand. We did not get rid of enough "stuff" and can't put a car in the garage.

@JamesHxstatic We have a double garage but I don't know when we'll be able to get the cars in. 
We might sell my little car as there doesn't seem much point in keeping it. That would free up half the garage for DIY projects and/or storage.

@DocAndersen I doubt we'll be able to get more. The place will be full by the time we unpack.

Wow! Nice place! Will it be strange getting used to from being in the country"?

Thank you. It's always nice to move into a new home.
! I say you should place kangaroo garden statuettes around 
. It's going to be exciting to move in and situate your living space . . . best of luck with all of that

Yes, we'll miss the space and the wildlife, that's for sure.

Looks like a lovely home and I'm sure you'll be happy to be moved in and settled. I love the idea of no stairs and even though I said I'd never move again, the thought does cross my mind occasionally.

@JudyEv I would love that especially the shower. I have to step in and out of mine . I'm thinking of having my son put in some bars that I can hold onto when getting in and out

@Marilynda1225 I look for something to hold now when I'm having a shower or bath. There is no bath in this place.

Looks like a nice house. I wish I could afford to move, but I can't right now.

We think it is the right time for us although we will be sad to leave here.

That's a lovely house Judy! I am sure that you and Vince are going to have a good stay here.
You have been to a new bed everyday and finally it's like heaven to get back to our own Have a good rest. You have to do a lot to settle in the new house.

@arunima25 Thanks. I have done a lot but there is still a fortnight to go so there is also quite a bit I can't pack yet. I do get pretty sad from time to time but then I give myself a good talking to and carry on packing.

@JudyEv I can understand. It's like uprooting yourself and replanting somewhere again. It needs a lot of planning to pack, clear up , discard, donate etc. You must be going through a lot of emotional stuff too.
Take care. Hope all goes smooth
