We got the keys a year ago today
I wrote a list of things we've got done since moving HERE......... a post written last November
Add on
Another 20 trees planted for the birthday wood and another 3 apple trees and apricot in the orchard
A couple of dozen new raspberry canes have been planted

A frame over the raspberry bed put in place
A bed made for growing cut flowers

The dead bit of tree that removed itself from our hedge is now ready to be cut up for firewood.
That list of things still to do on the November Post are still to do!
Essex and Suffolk Water Company
are doing a quote for the work to put junctions on their pipe in the road so we can all have new modern water pipes up the lane. Which we are going to have to pay for.
So it's going to cost a small fortune.
Have no idea of the logistics of this but something needs doing as water pressure is really low.
So one year on and
We still love living here, it's beautifully quiet (except for the odd times that a house across the fields plays music ridiculously loud!)
Common sense says we were mad to take on this house but of course when we decided to buy we thought the cancer treatment was working.
No regrets
Back Tomorrow

Here’s to another year!
ReplyDeleteIs it really that long? Time flies. I think you've worked wonders in pretty difficult circumstances. Here's to the next year now.

Well done on all you've achieved. The fact that you both love it there and have no regrets makes it a good decision.
ReplyDeleteYour home is lovely and you have accomplished quite a lot in one year. Congratulations to you both!
ReplyDeleteThat year has flown by. I'm so happy you love living where you do. The right decision for you both. X
ReplyDeleteThat went quickly, I love we can record all big and small events on our blogs, I also love to look back, hope looking forward your second year is as productive, and good health reigns.
ReplyDeleteAs long as it feels like home it doesn't matter where it is or how big it is x
ReplyDeleteWow - that flew past! Glad you love living there - makes it a home, not just a house :)
ReplyDeleteThat year seems to have gone fast. I'm glad you are both so happy there - wishing you health and happiness.
ReplyDeleteYou have achieved much, Sue, well done both of you, let me add my good wishes to those you have already received.

I may have missed something but have they determined that the second transplant isn't working? He sounded better so I hope has gotten good news.
ReplyDeleteWe don't know about the donor transplant yet but in 2016 we only found out that the first transplant hadn't worked after we offered on the house.
DeleteYou've done so many improvements on your lovely home in just a year. All the best to you and Col and your family in the coming year. (Your new grand baby must be due soon now.)
ReplyDeleteEarly to mid April for new grandchild
DeleteWow! Time flies. It doesn't seem that long ago. It sounds like you've made great strides in making the place your own.
ReplyDeleteYou live in a beautiful home and I am glad to read that no matter what, you have no regrets.
ReplyDeleteIt's a lovely house and you've been in there together for a whole year, so no regrets are needed. Doesn't time fly!!
ReplyDeleteIt's a beautiful house. And you've done so much already. I'm glad you got this house, it suits you and Col.
ReplyDeleteNice looking cottage. Glad you jumped at the chance at buying it and fixing it up. One never knows what else will come up to fix. We need our house re-sided this year. Hopefully not too expensive. Blessings on the days and years ahead.
ReplyDeleteI think that is a wonderful home! We live in about 600 sq. ft. You win, by a mile!

It looks lovely Sue and I am sure no regrets is the right positive attitude.
ReplyDeleteYou have the promise of some lovely fruit to come, and a lovely woodland, not bad for a first year! Best wishes.
ReplyDeleteI'm so pleased you don't regret the move. It was a big decision as moving house normally is. The house looks grand.
ReplyDeleteSounds like very good progress, considering how much time and energy is available for all the to-dos.
ReplyDeleteThe new external pipes will probably make a big difference but only if the internal pipes are in good working order. It would be well worth having inside pipes checked and repaired or replaced.
The tree planting sounds wonderful, will the growing trees stop the drift of loud music from across the field ?
You've achieved a lot, Sue! Your home sounds like the beautiful and quiet place that you and Col need. Meg Xxx
ReplyDeleteWow you have achieved such a lot. With all you have been going through, peace and quiet and enjoying your home are so important.
ReplyDeleteI love that you are planting a wood.
ReplyDeleteHappy house Anniversary, may you have lots more happy times there together :)
ReplyDeleteHappy anniversary, what a lot you have achieved. xcx
