Yes!
After the 2020-2021 move to here which dragged on for 7 months including nearly 9 weeks in holiday homes in between, I thought it best not to mention moving until I was sure it was happening, but, fingers crossed, all seems to be going well.
After just a couple of years here I knew I shouldn't have downsized so drastically. After living on 5 acres at the smallholding and then 1 acre I really missed the space and open outlook of Clay Cottage (the cottage at the end of the lane).
My bungalow has been for sale for 18 months and finally found a buyer who then pulled out after 4 weeks just as I found something I liked (I viewed about 10 properties in that summer heat, most were too tatty or too expensive.) Luckily just as I'd almost given up hope, a new buyer was found for this place and a bungalow I liked and could afford and had viewed in August came back onto the market, and it all fell into place in the space of 3 busy days.
So now I'm heading back toward the East coast, just a few miles from the sea, and just 4 miles from YD and YGD. Son and DiL have their house for sale and hope to move nearer the coast too.
Mad? Probably!.................. I'm excited but nervous.
No idea how long it will take but the chain is short - just 4 people. So maybe before Christmas?
That does sound exciting! Wishing you all the best with the move. Looking forward to reading about your new home.
ReplyDeleteExciting times! It will be lovely being closer to your family, and the sea. I hope the move goes smoothly for you. Xx
ReplyDeleteThat is big/great news. It will be lovely to be closer to family and the coast and back in an area where you had so many happy years. Fingers crossed that everything goes smoothly and quickly. Solicitors do seem terribly slow these days and need a lot of chasing. Hopefully you've got a good agent who will be pushing a quick result.
ReplyDeleteFingers crossed that all goes smoothly for you. How lovely to be living close to the sea and family.
ReplyDeleteYou're far braver than I, I hate moving and find it so stressful. But yes very exciting for you, back to an area you know well and love, close to family too. Will be great if son and DiL can move nearer too. Hope all goes well for you all.
ReplyDeleteWonderful news. Great to be nearer family, hope all goes smoothly and speedily - and not too stressfully. 👍🙏❤️
ReplyDeleteGood luck - we too have had an awfully long wait to sell houses (Louth and Chichester) and the market has seemed very slow/depressed.
ReplyDeleteOh good luck with the move. That seems to have fallen into place as a "meant to be". Nice to be nearer the coast and family too. I wish mine were closer but at least Danny is 25 mins nearer now he's moved to Carmarthen. The other two are further away but it can't be helped. I look forward to seeing your new home.
ReplyDeleteOh waw Sue…good for you. Jackie x
ReplyDeleteHope all goes well for your move. Looking forward to exploring your new surroundings through your blog.
ReplyDeleteOooh! Fantastic! So exciting!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations, both for surprising us all and for your sale and purchase. We all do what we feel is right for ourselves and you obviously were not really settled. Good luck for a speedy and stress free move. Susan from France
ReplyDeleteI understand your need for space, good luck, hope it all goes smoothly.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with everything. I hate the process of moving house all such a roller-coaster. Our eldest son and his partner are in the process of buying their first home, we have our fingers crossed for them, and now you! Regards Sue H
ReplyDeleteI understand that need for openness. Hope it all goes smoothly this time.
ReplyDeleteOh, good luck with the move. I remember when you moved to your bungalow as we were having a fraught house move experience at the same time. Hope all goes well x
ReplyDeleteI hope your move will bring you much happiness.
ReplyDeleteWell done, Sue. I didn’t think you were settled where you are and fingers crossed the chain keeps strong for your move. It will be lovely to be nearer the sea. Catriona
ReplyDeleteWow you kept that quiet. Good luck with the move, it will make for exciting times.
