jackjanderson: (The Long & Winding Road)
Here we are, now in South Wales as opposed to North Wales.

I think one of the main adjustments is going to be not being right on the coast - I'm going to miss being able to just amble down the road with the dogs and there's the beach. That's not to say that there's not still plenty of places to walk them. I'm looking forward to exploring this new area. There is a coast about 5 miles away, there's plenty of parks around

We're about as moved in as we're going to get right now. There's still some cosmetic stuff like new carpets and painting and decorating that need finalising but the important things have mostly found their homes. This place is definitely bigger than we needed for the three of us and there's honestly some space we're not quite sure what to do with yet.

I'd like to get a full home cinema installed, there's room for that which makes me pretty happy. We're thinking about making one of the rooms a 'library' - god knows between us we've got enough space and enough books and that's always been a dream of mine.
Those are my first two jobs I think.

Samantha's got her office set up. Lucy has 'her' bedroom set up - not that she ever sleeps in there, it's mostly just her own space. The girls are talking about making one of the bedrooms a walk-in closet. Our play room is set up. Like I said, the important things.

It'll be trial and error for a while as we settle and figure out what does/doesn't work but for now I'm looking forward to this house becoming our home.

About Me

I'm Jack, a recent retiree looking for a new hobby. Apparently 'annoying my girlfriend' isn't the best use of my days. Her opinion, not mine

I'm a life-long science-fiction and superheroes fan, and a voracious reader. I enjoy movies, fishing, astronomy, and gardening.

I live in Wales with my wife, our girlfriend and an ever growing collection of four-legged friends.
