See you soon!

Hi all! I had really wanted to find the time to put a few things on here from the past month or two, especially our visit from/with family in August, but no such luck! We spent quite a bit of time during August visiting Brighton, and trying to find the right place to live. The place we found in the end is not nearly so affordable as we had hoped but is only a 5/10 minute bike ride for Michael to the Uni, and just 5 minute drive down the main road to church, but we could bus or even bike or walk it if we needed to (it would just take a while longer!) It's close to needed shops too by car, a bit more tricky without, but we may have to make that work anyway at some point. Most of all though, it is very definately the right place for us to be, so we are certain it will all work out one way or another.

Well, this computer will be packed away tonight, as Michael is picking up our vans in the morning. Not that we're ready for them! Michael is still finishing off a friend's bathroom having had a few hitches, so is not around, and I was struggling through the day yesterday with a heavy cold, constant sneezing and a fever. Your prayers would be welcomed, but again, it will all work out I am sure. We are doing the things that we need to be doing, so going slower than expected can't be helped, especially as we were put back a week with illness a fortnight ago as well.

Well enough of that! I don't know the deal with internet connection in Brighton yet, so can't be certain when we'll be up and running again, but I will let you know when we are. For now though here's a little picture of the house we'll be living in certainly for the next 12 months. The children haven't seen it yet, which is just as well really as it is a student house and will hopefully be in a bit better condition when we arrive than it was when we saw it! If not there'll be a lot of cleaning to do. We'll make it into a nice home for the year though. I have sent the address out by e-mail. If you haven't had it then let me know and I'll see what I can do.
