Our time at the farm came to an end all too quickly. After a hurried uplift and removal, including a lot of rain and mud, an awkward temporary accommodation situation which ended with us bunking at mum's, and difficulties in finding a house big enough (phew), finally we are in our new home.
With John back in regular service, Elsie wanting to attend tertiary education and me suffering so badly from an environmental eczema, we had no choice but to pack up and head for town.
Finding a house proved very difficult. But, after many weeks of searching, we got approval on a renovated old Queenslander; 6 bedrooms plus a study, rumpus area downstairs, timber floors throughout, a pool plus a massive backyard. Upon arriving we all felt like we had come home.
The house is very close to John's work, walking/riding distance to Elsie's TAFE campus and my skin is now smooth and clear. Everything has fallen into place and seems to be working out.
Within three to four weeks our lives will be turned topsy turvy again when we expect and hope for the safe arrival of our new little bundle of joy. I'm hoping John will be home for the birth, and that my dear friend Diana makes it in time.
Really, life in this house is full of new things.
