We're here

We've arrived and are busy settling in and starting to get everything as we want it. The removal men left everything for us in the chai and we've been having a fun time finding things and moving them into the house.  Our hibiscus in the back garden is looking magnificent (picture) and we've got some of the grass cut and weeds pulled up, so it looks more lived in now. 

We've had a lovely 'welcome' visit from Penny and Adrian yesterday, and the neighbour across the stream at the bottom of the garden called round this morning. Apparently the old lady of our house (who we keep calling 'granny'), was his aunt. They're all part of a big family in the village so they're all interested in what we're up to.


We've ordered a water softener and supplier came round this morning with his plumber, so we're hopeful this can be done soon. The water is very hard here and after being used to soft Manchester water its taking some getting used to, so we'd rather not. Its not as expensive as we feared.
