Five Years On

It is five years today since we first saw our house.

Looking back, I think we were suffering wide eyed naivity. It isnt usual to quote oneself, but we (OK - Susan) did say "Thus, once the roof is done, the rest is just decorating!" (She claims the following "hmmm" indicates she didn't believe herself at the time).

14h33 on the 29th May 2006. If we had known
we were buying we would have taken more photos
This afternoon at about 14.33 we will stand in the garden and open a bottle of something cold, refreshing and bubbly to mark 5 years on from that moment.

Congrats to you very brave people.
We enjoy following your journey, wishing to do the same but not so brave.

You've come a long way since your 'fairy tale' dining room! Congratulations and enjoy the bubbly! Wish I could be there. I would have brought an extra bottle to celebrate ! :) Martine

You've given us a forewarning and many a laugh. We hope to be in your shoes someday soon.
