Oi, our heads are positively spinning! The day after we closed on our house in Massachusetts, we were informed that we can close on our new home in Wales on Jan 22 ... and so we will!
We're flying to the U.K. next week for a short visit to get some odds and ends tied up, to sort out utilities and services, village amenities, cars, etc. We'll basically 'camp' in our unfurnished home for the short time we're there, and maybe order a fridge and dishwasher. Oh, the visit will be just in time to buy more British chocolates, seeing as I've run out of these particular soy-free delectables ...
We've been aching for this momentum to start, trying to mark time as we waited for the molasses-slow process of buying and selling across continents ... and now it's here! Things are finally moving quickly. Lots to do all of a sudden, as opposed to planning and thinking and waiting! But we're very relieved and glad - the sorting and packing has begun.
When we return from the U.K. it'll be time to ready items for packing into the container, and sprucing up the house for sale (we have an agent coming by in 2 days).
I hope the ice melts soon too, so we can put our dock in and lure buyers to our paradise! I'll be glad to get away from this wintery whiteness for a while.
