Moving

Thought I would post a few shots of the move. Things went pretty smoothly all things considered. Especially as our movers never even turned up! After an hour of waiting for Hubert the mover to arrive I left a message telling him not to bother. Thankfully Simon was around to give me a hand with the furniture and Mum arrived from Weymouth to help with the cleaning. Which meant I pretty much got out of it. Maybe Hubert's uselessness was a blessing in disguise.

First BBQ! Note the "tools".
What have I done?
Stop goofing around and do
some work!


It all starts to arrive.



Mum cleaning. Bless 'er. 
The mess

Interior - Before

Some "before" pictures of the interior of the house. Some taken on the day we moved in and some taken on our second viewing.





















Is that a proposal?

So today was the day we were scheduled to pick up the keys to the new pad. While we were looking around the place for the first time I chanced upon a mysterious box in the bedroom...

Unbeknownst to me, Sonia had prepared a surprise in order to ask me to be her wife husband. Having asked my parents' permission, (an oddly traditional lass in some respects) Sonia had been to the Estate Agents, picked up the keys a day early and planted both the box and a bottle of champagne in the fridge. When I turned around, I found her on bended knee!

I said yes, in case you were wondering. ;)
