A new home for Bamber

[Bamber]

Thanks for the photos! Do you like it being quieter?

Oh yes, I'm all for a quiet life. I must admit I was rarely home when the traffic was heaviest, so wasn't particularly affected by traffic noise anyway.

Bloody hell Phil ~ after all you have gone through ~ and 'now' the dear lady tells you that she's not selling ~ probably will be a blessing in the long run, as it would still be something at the back of your mind that she might change her mind [again]
So pleased that you have found a place that suits.

Many thanks for the "Good luck in your new home" card Peter. The first post I have received there which has not been redirected from the old address.

A personally produced card too, no less.

I took a walk round the corner to get a shot of the outside of the flat this morning. I didn't realise it was slate clad (as many Totnes buildings are). The slate clad area pretty much defines the area of my flat. The view is partially obscured by the tall white-ended wall, but the layout is: left window - bedroom; next window - lounge; third window - kitchen; the bathroom, short hallway and door are beyond that.

Yes, all get the early morning sun. I'm hoping for a spectacular red sunrise across the roofs to give you soon.

I handed over the keys to my old address at 4 pm; no more moving stuff from place to place, just sorting it out in my new home now.

I'm currently surrounded by 80 litre containers, but new storage shelves are arriving Monday so I can clear at least some of them next week.

Not really; it was time to move on. Almost 14 years at that address is by some way the longest I have EVER lived in one place. Next nearest was about 6 years.
