scottishlassThree days since we got the keys and everything is still fresh and young and new. I really need to write about how we got this house but somehow this whole thing is so big, so amazing, that words fail me right now.
Finding this house, this Home, has been a very long road for our family - many, many detours and almost dream house finds only to be disillusioned and later on glad that we didn't get the house in question. We had about four years in the searching, wishing and trying, and even more months still on the completely up-and-down-on-and-off-and-on-again roller coaster that was the final stretch to this house. It has been and still is EPIC!
HOME is a one hundred year old farm house situated in one of the villages on the farthest western corner of MG. Ppl say if you just move another inch West you end up in the Netherlands (just kidding). But it is very far away. My home town, the city that I love is about 40 kilometers away and it takes an hour to go there by train. But what we trade in for convenience we gain in freedom, apples and the feeling that this really belongs to us.
We have been renovating the living room and the kitchen for starters and already our bodies feel as if we have lived up to a hundred years as well :) and the first wall in the hall has been painted :) A nice marron ... or as Hubby said: "Now I know what ppl think when they say PUCE."
