Our offer on the house next door has been accepted!  So looks like we are on the move again, but this will be the shortest one yet.  Since Anne and I got back together, we have had quite a few moves - from Rio to a few months in Ridgewood New Jersey, staying with her parents, to Cheveney Place in Kent, to the wee flat back in Rio and then the ranch, then to the rented accommodation in Cobham before moving to Oxshott and then over here to Hopewell.  So this move will be the ninth home in just over 10 years.  We need some stability!

We are now both content with our decision, indeed we are quite excited.  Readers will by now know how much we like this wee town and this wee street, particularly for the kids.  We have not bought it yet, of course, but the price has been agreed and we are cash buyers so there should not be any problems.
