I know, I can't believe it - there aren't any neighbours near enough to hear me shout - I can now get a cockeral!! and some more chickens, and a goat, and a donkey, and a sheep!!!!!!!!

AND MAYBE A BLACK SHIRE!!!!!!!!!! Another Kizzy - bless her xx wish she was here to see this day

Here's the cottage!! Good news is that we don't have to sell our house to buy it - so we don't have to stress too much about moving, and we can rent ours out - hoorah!

Thank you everyone - I had to pinch myself when I woke up this morning - I can't believe it myself!!!!!!!!!!! I thought I'd be waiting a few more years to get it, but it just came along!!

Just got to start tidying up this house, and packing things we don't use away. Planning on using a work van to move bit by bit over a period of a month or two, then give this house a lick of paint before renting it out - fingers crossed!!!!

House warming parties- bring your tents, as it's only a small stone cottage with 2 bedrooms Rolling Eyes

Morph just be careful if you move a bit at a time. You are a prime target for getting broken in to. My brother in law got done that way. Have someone stay in both houses. Sad
