Guest Posted June 30, 2007 Share Posted June 30, 2007 Well, we've made it! Our move to Dorset went ahead this week we are now installed in our brand new apartment. We are sitting on camp chairs surrounded by boxes. Our new furniture is arriving in two weeks. We are so relieved that the move is over as the past few weeks have been quite stressful. If only it would stop raining, we could go out and enjoy our new surroundings. Now my retirement really begins! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted July 1, 2007 Share Posted July 1, 2007 Hi How exciting for you - hope you enjoy living in this part of the country! I'm in the South by the sea. Think I remember seeing that you are in North Dorset - you've got so many places right on your doorstep. What I did notice though was this ......... you've just moved, haven't got your furniture yet BUT your computer and internet is up and running - it would be so hard to live without it now wouldn't it!!!! Sorry about the rain - it's just making all those fields nice and green! Good luck Janice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyMouse_1195 Posted July 1, 2007 Share Posted July 1, 2007 Oh well done on completing your move ....well nearly complete. Don't worry there will be lots of sunny days to come. An apartment sounds interesting- that is something we are beginning to consider for when my husband retires in five years time, as I don't think we can afford our dream cottage. House prices are so high now, and we have never had a mortgage as we live in tied accomodation at present. Now somewhere by the sea sounds delightful but we wish to stay 'ooop' north. Enjoy your new adventure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted July 1, 2007 Share Posted July 1, 2007 Thanks everyone! The sun is shining today - just. Janice - my husband's priorities were phones, television and computers. He, too, cannot manage without the internet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnonyMouse_3139 Posted July 1, 2007 Share Posted July 1, 2007 I know we shouldnt wish our lives away but you draw such a lovley picture it's hard not to. My dream is to retire to a place over looking mountains or the sea rather than the house across the road. Enjoy your retirement Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
