At last it happened. We moved. We got in the new house. Despite the best efforts of the archaic and obfuscatory English property laws we eventually sold our old house and moved in this weekend.

It wasn't made easy by the fact I had to fly in from Canada on the Saturday morning and then move house in the afternoon, but we had plenty of help. Now, Monday morning, I'm suffering from after effects of jet lag and muscle ache, but it was all worth it to get in and start getting settled in.

The cats weren't too impressed though. Especially as they can't be let out for a while and there was a massive tom cat in their garden. In true cat form they decided to take out their frustrations on the furniture. Looks like we could be needing a new settee sooner than we planned.
