So you can see I went round counting leaves at one stage in my life! Actually in the cull of books a couple of his went, 'coffee table' type, they are so heavy and also Stonehenge books, an ancient monument I am never going to get my head around....thelmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00934860502828923562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5613585301584630832.post-68644211041476716162015-06-13T08:18:46.130+01:002015-06-13T08:18:46.130+01:00Hi Pat, I'm glad she is happy and settled in, ...Hi Pat, I'm glad she is happy and settled in, we might be one day;).

LOTS of them around here - which is why spring seems to arrive so much later in our valley. The oak won the race this year so I am hoping (despite El Nino) we have a good summer. I hope that the sale goes ahead without any more hiccups.Bovey Bellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13117332471600275100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5613585301584630832.post-60558789004304152172015-06-12T19:15:18.470+01:002015-06-12T19:15:18.470+01:00It is deemed to be the most stressful thing to go ...It is deemed to be the most stressful thing to go through Thelma. Do hope you keep your cool and it all goes through. My friend moved last Saturday and is at last in - now she is feeling a little flat because all the excitement is over.The Weaver of Grasshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13947971556343746883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5613585301584630832.post-63889881262829437392015-06-12T17:48:03.993+01:002015-06-12T17:48:03.993+01:00Yes it is probably very different in America, here...Yes it is probably very different in America, here we have 'exchange of contracts' after all the solicito'rs work has been done, and then both families move out of their respective houses on a particular day.<br />What is happening at the moment, is the studio extension, built in exactly the same style as the house and the same materials 25 years ago, did not have a 'signing off' piece of paper at the end or work. This came into effect 20 years ago and so this piece of paper does not exist, though the building had full council approval.<br />I quite like the way you moved, it looked less stressful, though I know it wasn't, at least we don't have cats to move ;)thelmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00934860502828923562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5613585301584630832.post-50302314913747541362015-06-12T14:16:55.078+01:002015-06-12T14:16:55.078+01:00It seems that the buying and selling of a property...It seems that the buying and selling of a property is fraught with maddening 'glitches'--one so wants the transaction to 'over and done.' We have a contract on the house we need to sell--after refusing a 'contingency' clause which would have allowed the prospective buyer 90 days to piddle about looking for financing. A bank appointed appraisal is standard if the buyer is borrowing funds--inspections of varying kinds can take forever to be scheduled, etc. It is a trying time--and one needs all the 'soothing' mechanisms available. I hope this goes well and closes soon for you.Morning's Minionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01912356455981434029noreply@blogger.com
