A change in seasons.....


So perhaps now I have started a blog I should give people some background on us to elaborate on my profile info a bit.

As it says we have moved from a council estate in Dover, a lot of people would think is quite a rough estate, We had lived there for 6 years and is the only place My two Boys Josh (7) and Zack (4) have ever lived. Recently Stewart my husband got a very good job and we have found ourselves able to afford to get out of what I called the hell hole and move. We were lucky enough to find a peace of heaven, a gem hidden in the countryside close to Deal and closer to my parents which is an added bonus. we have woodland and fields surrounding us and only 3 other houses close by. So we have lived here since November 2009, We have had a fantastic winter, here with a lovely family christmas round a log fire with great food, and excellent but cold weather, to say it can be extreme here is an understatement.

Something that is also really really lovely, and along time sort after, is my neighbours after living with teenage arguing next door and all sorts happenings in the street outside our old house. It is wonderful to perhaps be the noisiest of the lot here, with the boys and dog playing in the garden of which for the last year because of anti social dogs next to us has been impossible.

It has been a bit tough for me, I don't drive and for the first 4 months I had to walk the boys 3 miles into school everyday, and then a transition of sending them in a taxi made me feel a bit redundant, but now I have found my self things to do that fill the time, like the fabulous garden that is here and now it is spring seems to need a lot of work doing to it, it is taking over!!!.....ohhh and the walks with Megan, that to me is when I am truly happy I can just walk out the gate with her off the lead head down the lane and walk for miles.....complete freedom, and my lovely next door neighbour Marion who really helps to keep me company along with her brute of a chocolate lab, who is actually staying over today whilst Marion is in London.

Well I hope you have gained insight to how we have happened upon the place where we are and feel you know a little about us......I wait with anticipation as to how this year will go, weather I will still be in love with this place this time next year....we will wait and see.
