We’re on the move
If only everything in life was simple and planned it would be so much easier, a lot more boring and no where near as excititing but least you would have some direction to things.
If life was like this you might have more than 3 days notice you were moving house!
Those of you who know me or read the blog know that Lucy and I have been looking at buying a house as the future of our current residency is uncertain, well the news came through that we would have new landlords for the 1st September.
This seemed like the right time to move on to pastures new, if by luck the house we had looked at buying a month or so back is now up for rent. So some quick paperwork was drawn up and hopefully we get the keys tomorrow morning giving us three days to pack up and move.
Nothing like forward planning…
Dodge Charger
Lucy and I were walking through a local village at the week end and found this beauty between the antique shops. Not the first thing you expect to find in a rural village!
No CommentsSummer Storm
Last night we experienced one of the best electric storms we have had so far this year.
It is hardly surprising the weather has been getting hotter and hotter and the air just so ‘heavy’ with that close feeling about it that you knew it was going to happen.
Lucy and I were sitting downstairs talking about houses when it first started rumbling, so we decided to move upstairs and look out over the water meadows for a better view. I tried constantly to get a photo of the storm but I just could not get the exposure or focus right, I think I took about 80 shots but only three contained anything that looked like a storm.
If you know how to photograph lightening please let me know!

Sudbury has got class after all
I was cycling home tonight and the usual trip down Market Hill yields the standard array of new Focus', welded together Rover's and the fibre-glass improved chav mobiles but something caught my eye this time. So much so I had to stop and double take. Yes, the Aero8 is a little ...
The Search Begins
In the seven odd years; lovely fun filled years I might add, that Lucy and I have been together we have spent most of it in rented accomodation. From the very first flat to our current rather large house we have never really thought about jumping on the housing market.
Our current situation is that we rent a nice three storey Victorian weaver’s house located right on the meadows of Sudbury, whilst we have no garden due to it being sold as a garage forecourt the location and size of the house really makes up for this. In the begining we moved into this potential four bedroom house with a friend/lodger but as all those in this position know keeping the lodger a friend is very different to keeping the friend as the lodger. So it ended up with just the two of us rattling around in a good sized house; until…
The next door garage was sold off just before Christmas and last month we got wind that the house would be too. We have met the ‘would be’ landlords and they seem great but Lucy and I are now sitting there thinking this could be the right time to make the plunge and invest in bricks and mortar.
So the search begins for the ‘right house’ in the ‘right price bracket’ which is not going to happen, commit myself to 25 years of finance agreement? I can’t commit to Weetabix in the morning without having doubts! Needless to say we might be having some problems finding the right house, since we have lived in this house our, assets shall we say have increased and now realistically we need a barn to house our junk.
Well this week will be an interesting one as we start looking at some houses and starting talking finances!
