Yesterday marked the start of David packing. August for us is quite a busy month; with planned drinks and birthdays, to a week long trip to Glasgow followed by a weekend in Portsmouth. That means that with the moving date being September 6th, the big day is going to creep up faster than you can…
Read MoreThe search ends!
It’s so strange – when we started the blog back in April actually coming to look and find a flat seemed like a million miles away. We always said that when the beginning of August hit we’d begin the search to find the perfect abode and it just so happened that on Saturday we decided…
