There are a number of songs I could have picked for this post, Crowded House You Better Be Home Soon (an old fave) among many more spring to mind. But none other seemed more fitting than Edward Sharpe's joyous jig-along track to welcome you (by virtual way of typing)to our new home.

It has been an exceptionally busy two weeks of moving, cleaning, unpacking & a bit of friendly fun thrown in too. But how thankful we are that through the exhaustion we are home. 

For the most part, the Operation One Truck was a success but it's all those little things like removing junk, maneuvering plants and unaccounted for outdoorsy stuff, organising cleaners and pest sprayers that had us shuffling back and forth to Old Milney several times that first week. But finally I handed over the keys - the final inspection was done (not without a few hiccups of course) and Old Milney is now free for new tenants, as we are to enjoy our new home.

Apart from us, nothing has quite landed exactly where it belongs in the little unit yet; our new couch is still a few weeks away, we are yet to organise wardrobes and a spare bed/storage, even Zeus hasn't quite identified his 'corner' yet. There are so many wonderful ideas we have for the place that will take some time to execute. But we've managed to clear the sea of cardboard boxes (or at least confine them to the spare room) which has made being in our space much more relaxing! 

None-the-less we're both so happy to be home and know everything will (literally) fall into place soon enough and we'll start to establish a new kind of 'normal'. 

I look forward to brining you some pics very soon!
