Exchanged contracts on the bungalow we are buying and signed contract of sale for this house at 11.00 am this morning. So its official at last!
This comes after four months of very stressful negotiations.The chain we are in collapsed twice- however we are nearly there and move house on the 19th of this month.
we are moving from Yorkshire to a village called Embleton in Northumberland. Had lots of holiday cottages there over the years and did lots of research, so know what we are going to.
With the benefit of hindsight I wish we had made the move a few years ago. We are both 73 and the last few weeks have been very tiring. WE are moving from a large 5 bedroom house to a 2 bedroom bungalow. So have had to get rid of at least half of our possessions.
Now that its all signed up, its a bit scary. However its our time now and family will have to make an effort to come and visit us instead of us doing all the running. (Well thats what I am telling myself) however still feel a bit guilty.
So OH and our dog are looking forward to being on the beach every day, and there's loads of things going on in the village. So wish us good luck wont you.
Just thought I will get to Northumberland Coffee mornings.
On the last of the packing now, thank god.
