I start believing that I am good at this. I can commit to being here regularly. Then something makes me forget all about it.

OK, I have been pretty busy. We moved house! We have lived in our old flat for nine years. We outgrew it for sure and decided to start looking. I have to admit that it didn’t take as much as I thought. In a way, I was not ready to let go. The idea of a new place was always attractive. It would be a place we build memories in. It gives you a new perspective and energy. But letting go of all memories we made, packing up and going was definitely not something I was prepared for.

We are in the same area so school did not need change, work travel has not changed. As a plus. But still, moving made me slightly sad. We have been through so much while there. Our daughter grew up in that little flat. We had good and bad times. I felt like all those moments will just vanish once we move.

I believe that we only looked for a month or two. Houses around here are small and old and silly expensive for what they offer. The ones we have seen were a downer. As we were getting more and more disappointed, the idea of looking at new flats arose. It was an idea we started to take into consideration. Both work from home quite a lot and space is a major factor when checking new places.

Having a tenancy to the end of the year kept us not despairing. We had some time to look and form an opinion towards what do we really want. The place where we are now was meant to be. I called to view it, it wasn’t available until the end of the week. All of a sudden, my viewing was canceled. We thought: “back to looking” . Few days later, the same place was back on the market and a viewing was straight away arranged!

We moved in at the end of July. Two month in and I am liking it more and more. I feel it like home. A new place. New memories! New adventures! Oh, and we have space! A lot!

I even have a little book nook. It is my corner of Heaven. It features a huge rocking chair and a book trolley that keeps me company when I want to escape.

There will be changes for a while. We keep arranging things from one side to another but I am definitely loving it. My daughter is so proud of her bedroom. She finally has enough space. She has a big girl room with her own bathroom. Every girls dream.

So here it is. The reason I have not said Hi and not been around for a while.

I am not promising anything …
