On the move in Surbiton

my beloved and i in front of our flatI am having trouble keeping up with pretty much everything, including this blog. I am at a complete loss as to how I am spending time differently. But there you go.

I failed to log on the blog that we like Surbiton so much that we moved there again, even though we were already living here. But this time, we are attempting ownership, which is a step that seemed completely improbable until fairly recently.

Anyway, yada, yada, yada... we own a flat. Completion was in October and we moved in November. The move was more fortuitous than we could have imagined at the time. The new place is about twice the size of the old one. I honestly do not think we could have psychologically survived the pandemic lock down (which started in March) in that little flat.

It's a one bedroom and the stairs are inside the flat so that gives us a space at the top of the landing that we use as my beloved's office: really handy in a pandemic. It has a lovely back garden. And I have a shed!!

It was love at first sight. We hope it is a very long term relationship.
