We found a place that is in better shape, in a town that is about the same size as where we live now, but more convenient in many ways, and that has a rent that is significantly cheaper than what we're paying now. The place we're leaving is quite small and the apartment is even smaller, and I love it. It has a good vibe, as does the town. I'm looking forward to getting there and settling in. This is a really good move for us and we're grateful we were in a position to jump on this place when it came up last month.

Thanks, Vicki! One of the things I'm thrilled about is the fact that the library is a short walk from the apartment and it's open 5 days a week. Where we live now, the nearest library is a 30ish minute bus ride and it's only open on Tuesdays and Thursdays. It's kind of weird, because both towns are around the same size--the new one is slightly smaller (by about 70 people--LOL) but there is a lot there that will, as Bill commented, make our life a lot easier.
Have great time moving. Exciting.
Sounds like a good move. I have read that many libraries in the UK have either reduced hours or closed because of tight budgets. Sad!
Hi Shari,
I'm almost surprised that you'd move away from the Station where you'd made such a nice little community. Will you be able to garden etc in the new place? Hopefully you can get a van or something for anything heavy that wont do on the bus. How much longer will it take to get things moved over and ready to stay in the new place? I'm very glad that the rent is cheaper and that the library is a few mins away that does seem ideal. Will you have shopping and medical nearby too? Is it near the water? I'm not at all surprised that you ache - it's a lot of work packing, unpacking, cleaning, preparing all of that.
I hope this posts ok I haven't had much luck responding to blogging sites. LOL tried once, trying again...
