Default Our BIG day has arrived!!

Today we move house! Been in this on 8 years, it was never quite right. We bought and sold on the same day!! We are moving back to Bournemouth, a lovely seaside resort on the south coast of England. We are only moving 6 miles, but what a difference!! I will have a good size garden again, where the dog will be able to run!! And south west facing That is important to us, as we do not get enough sun here.
Wish us luck

Best of luck! A seaside resort, a good size garden, a happy dog, sounds wonderful!

We get more sun because we now have a large southwest facing garden. No homes overlooking or blocking sunlight, unlike our last home!!

Have been in the new place for 2 weeks now. Internet was turned on today!!
Was sitting in the garden a couple of nights ago, saw something strange looking at us over the back fence, 2 llamas, 6 sheep and a couple of horses!! There were not there earlier. Wonderful, all this and just one mike from the city centre!!

Thank you so much!! It feels like a home already, even though we have only 3 rooms up and running so far!! Things are coming together though.
AND only 6 weeks until our visit to The Villages, happy days

Bournemouth has a very nice city center, as well as a nice pier.

Thanks for the shout out....ha ha

Ohhh how wonderful for you!!! I love Bournemouth!! Used to travel there often for business. Its a beautiful place and I was lucky enough to have a hotel with a view of the sea. I love that city, wish I could visit again. Maybe some time soon. Good luck and enjoy!! See ya in TV.

Kathie, I don't think you would recognise it now!! It has changed so much since we moved here in 1998. And, changed for the better too. We still have one of the best beaches in Europe!! a lot of the sea front hotels have had a ton of money spent on them, and do look quite nice now
Come back, I think you would love it!!
