The view from the bedroom is fantastic, you can see over to the hills beyond and at night the view is filled with the lights from the houses in the town below. It's so vast; I'm used to seeing houses and gardens opposite. Because our house is built on a hill it takes some getting used to. For instance the the front room, accessed via the front door is also, at the back of the house, on the first floor. So after a while looking out the window into the first floor of the houses opposite you turn around to see people walking past the window by the front door, which makes you think they are floating or flying past.
We've been here almost three weeks now and it still feels new walking downstairs to the front room. We've almost got the place sorted now, found room for everything. It's been so busy these last few weeks, it'll be nice just to sit in the house and enjoy it. We haven't had much time to explore our surroundings. There's a cricket field down the hill, I could hear the sound of leather on willow and polite clapping the other Saturday evening. Apart from that we haven't got much further than the pub on the corner.
We've got a yard too which will be handy for summer nights, when the rain stops. Until then we can sit inside on the sofa watching the people float by.
