Now we are back to normal life again but in the new house. It is a much more sociable house especially now when it's warm and nice since the heating was fixed. We are spending much more time together as a family due to the wonderful layout of the house. The snow has now melted but the photo shows what it looked like on the day of the move!
The cats are allowed out now and since the neighbours were away last week they had the chance of exploring the outside in peace. The peace ended this morning when the original cat inhabitant (very small pretty black thing) surprised our cats and we woke up to the sound of horrendous meowing and hissing! She left but was followed promptly by their Staffordshire bull terrier trying her luck through the cat flap only to be frightened away by Tikka, who is already twice the size of a normal cat, inflating herself to huge proportions. I'm sure they'll get used to it! They certainly have got used to the AGA as you can see from Keema curled up asleep in front of it.
The other picture is the view from the patio outside the living room and the last picture is taken from the valley opposite showing our house as a small white dot on the hillside.
Phoned BT up today to get a phone line installed. Tried doing it on-line 1 1/2 weeks ago but it turned out they'd lost that order. Many people have ranted about how impossible it is to get these things sorted out and how many options "press 1 if... or 2 if..." You all know what I mean I'm sure. I didn't actually think that it would be quite as bad as people made it seem but o'boy was I wrong!!! In the end (and this is no guarantee that actually this is over now and that we actually will get a phone...) it took over 45 minutes continually repeating my name and details (when I didn't have 54 different options to press different numbers) to 4 different people (of which two were based in India) until I at least got the impression that someone might be coming out sometime on Friday to do something. If everything goes well, which I very much doubt it will, since I now believe everything people have told me about phone/broadband arrangements, we might be back on-line in a weeks time.....

Nice to hear that you are happy in your new home! I am so used to having a lovely view that I don't think I could be without it, and now I see you have it too... I'm looking forward to more pictures!
