We are in and Merry Christmas

Sorry for the delay in updating the blog, but we have been a little busy over the last week or so.


We officially moved on Tuesday 20th December, and from the day of handover it has been go go go to say the least.


A big thanks to Stu and Andy from 2 Men and a Truck (thanks Reinsey for the reference), who were absolutely fantastic in getting us from Charles Green to Charlbury with everything intact.   Seeing I have Kiwi relatives, it was no surprise to see these two kiwis working like trojeans!!


Finally, the front of the house
Ever since Tuesday we have been unpacking and trying to get things organised.   The curtains/blinds finished up with the last room being installed on Xmas eve (thanks Trevor from Sharon's Curtains), we have had outside blinds installed, all fans/lightfittings now complete, carpet, deadlocks, security doors & flyscreens, new TV's for both of us, and desk for David.   Need to go back to Ikea to get another desk for me as mine from the old house just doesnt suit the study.


 


Loving the house number plate ordered online!


Not many pictures yet, will update as I get organised more.

Master Bedroom




Today was Christmas Day, and we managed to have a lovely lunch with Ryan & Kris who very kindly helped with some of the food as well.

I would like to wish all my bloggy mates a very happy Festive Season and look forward to seeing all of you a lot more often now that our Avenue family is complete.

Its been a long road from Charles Green to Charlbury, but what pearls of wisdom and lovely friends I have gained along the way.   Looking forward to this new chapter of our life surrounded by great neighbours.

Merry Christmas to you too Janine. It is so lovely to see you enjoying your new home. We are off to see ours tomorrow, hoping the massive hail storm we have had here today hasn't done too much damage.

MERRY CHRISTMAS

Well done getting everything sorted on the eve of Christmas; big welcome to our newest neighbour.

Pleased to see Ryan helped Mr GSI put the official house number plate in its rightful position.

We're shattered from Christmas celebrations and non-stop storms with Bon. John at cricket.

Will drop round for coffee/drink sometime?
