congratulations! all the moving sounds exhausting, which will be followed by, hopefully, by ease in nesting as you settle in. this house, now Wunderkammer, must have been waiting for you as you waited for it. may it be a place of welcome and rest. a place of dancing, delight, nourishment and deep conversations. and play...lots of play. oh, and with Oscar (congrats to him also) still living on the boat, you will be able to have a long goodbye to Susan. i, for one, will miss Susan stories.
Oh, Katy, this resonates so much with me, though I haven't reached this point. I'm still prevaricating between staying in a place where I have all the physical conveniences but little soul nourishment and taking a leap which may or may not work out. This poem, by Ronna Bloom, is pinned above my desk. Wishing you both all happiness in your new beginning. xx
Congratulations!! Wishing you an uneventful move-in (I'm not going to lie and say 'easy' because no move is or has ever been that.). It sounds like a wonderful house, and just the right spot.
We went through a similar process almost two years ago. It is difficult to choose just for yourselves. I had only glimmers of what I might desire. I love the house we found but it taught me no matter how realistic you try to be the fantasy of living there takes over in the search. We are happy but I am not a gardener. Accepting that and getting over the guilt of hating taking on that responsibility has been eye opening. The simplicity of the boat calls to me.
I’m so happy that you’re finally getting to make a home that you love in a place that you love. And I hope that home includes an art room just for you. x

What does she actually need?
A toaster, a teapot, a pen?
She is not the sort of person
who picks up a tent and goes off
into the woods alone.
But she is no longer the sort of person
not to. She is being cooked
like a soup, boiled up and getting skimmed.
And she has no idea if the broth is going
to go dark as mahogany or pale as straw.
The shelves are not empty
but in the clearing she can begin to see.
Here, a bowl. Here,
a spoon.
Congratulations on your new home Katy! Hope you're soon settled in 🙂 🏘
Glad your house search is over. Enjoy your new place...
Congratulations on your new adventure! I love how your house found you, pulled you in as you drove past.
Massive congratulations 🥂 Katy!! Epic news x Enjoy! 😊
Congratulations! May you be happy there and may you and your family have good times and make good memories.
So glad for you! Hope you’ll be very happy there.
I’m in the process of finding MY home. I’ve left my house to be nomadic for a while. It’s not just bricks I’m looking for I guess xx
Congratulations and Happy New Home 🏡 x
