For the next 6 weeks we have booked ourselves into a holiday let while we wait for the people whose house we are in the process of purchasing, to vacate it. We had to complete on our house last Monday, so we had no choice but to move out - and so close to Christmas so not ideal, but needs must and we are now moved in and as settled as you can be with most of your worldly processions all packed up in the garage and spare bedroom!
The holiday let is a lovely property though, and with some improvements I would not complain if this was the new home we were moving to permanently. Unlike their old home, the boys were chuffed to bits to discover that we now have a garden, and it pleases me too. Now if the weather is dry, rather than have to load the buggy up and head to the park every time we want a run around, and some fresh air we can open the back door instead! How novel - and you may laugh but this is a *big* deal for us!
Gardens are such a great free space and idea for
excitedly running into and forgetting to wear you coat!
excitedly running into and forgetting to wear you coat!
exploring your new surroundings
kicking a ball about
'scoring' a goal!
fetching the ball
passing it back to big brother
getting upset when big brother takes the ball off you when you wanted to hold it!
looking for stones
surprised when ball is passed to you at last!
Its just a shame we have had so much rain this week!!
I love our garden! It's great for when the sun is shining to have a paddling pool and sun loungers (very rare!) or just a dry day when we can play on the trampoline! x
ReplyDeleteYou have so much going on with a house move at Christmas, but how wonderful for the boys to have a garden. Perfect as you say for just dashing out and not worrying about the coat and layers. I bet it will see much use these next few weeks with or with out the rain. Mine were out on the trampoline in the pouring rain this morning with out a care in the world!
ReplyDeleteYou could see it as being more exciting moving at Christmas. Sounds like it will be well worth it. I love gardens and so glad we have 1 too. They look like they got on well with each other out there :)
ReplyDeleteI can totally understand that, I lived in a flat years ago (pre Leo) with no garden and really missed having one, now I'd love a proper garden but at least we have our balconies to let the kids run about on.
ReplyDeleteIt does look like a lovely garden - can understand the novelty. We have a big garden, but because of the work we have had done, we haven't been able to get out into it much. Looking forward to getting it finished so we can get ours back.
ReplyDeleteWow, what a crazy time of year to move! Hope you have a fab Christmas Jenny :) I remember when we moved into our house having lived in a flat for so long. Such a novelty to open the door and run outside. I still love it a year later! Xx
ReplyDeleteI'm ashamed of the fact that we haven't been out in the garden for two months; we've got a 70 foot garden and don't use it. It's lovely to see them so free, I hope your new place has as much space.
