Once more unto the breach, etc.

You know how life sometimes takes control and you find yourself going down roads that you thought you’d left behind for a while? We’re experiencing that now. Full-time living aboard is out of the question for the moment, and renting’s a pain in the arse. We can’t decorate, the kids can’t put posters up and we’ve had to smuggle the cats and a tortoise into the house because ‘pets aren’t allowed without express permission’. Which we’ve asked for (twice) and received no reply. I grew up quite some time ago but somehow it just doesn’t feel like it at the moment. So we tentatively start looking for a place to buy and find a possible quite quickly. Straight out of the fifties and decorated by a granny, smaller than the last one & with three fewer toilets. It’s also got a field attached and if the original ‘Allotment’ thread had survived ‘The Great Vista Download Disaster of 2007′ you’d see where that’s going.

Cutting to the chase we’ve had an offer accepted. Who’d have thought, eh?
