Ere we come

Well, this is it, the 7.5 tonner arrived 2 hours early from Inverness at 11am with three men then by 3pm all completly loaded, and everything fitted on this wagon too.

We went to Herne Bay for our last dinner as my little Daughter loves it there we sat on the beech and had fish and chips or fish supper for our new locals and the weather was fantastic......make you think why we are moving? but saying that the night before we had flash lightening and really bad downpour.

Maybe its going to follow us up on the Isle....hope not?, when we arrived back home after our dinner, we vacuumed the whole house and mopped the floors, one more visit to the local refuge and on the road around midday Thursday to get to Portree around 12pm Friday then shoot to Uig for the 2pm sailing to our new home.
The house in Margate looks strainge empty, and will be sad to see it go as Sarah and I worked so hard putting it together, but we know we are going to a better place and cant wait to be there now.....to start our new life.

Its now 22:03pm and I am cranking down the computers for a few days till we are up and running in the new house, touch base with you later.

Good luck with the move folks, I`m sure it`ll all go well, and much excitement and good times ahead for you in your new home. :-)

Hermit from Sanday


Good luck Fred, by the time you read this you will be installed. I wish you all the best for your new life.

Jill from EK


Inknow how you feel- when we sold our last house , i felt quite sad that someone else was going to do smash up all our hard grind of renovation-- but as a we stayed in the same village we(now just me as you all know) have been invited in,what the n'w owners have done is nice---different but very nice!

carol from in the shade


Hello Fred, in paragraph 3 you informed us that you were making one last visit to the local refuge. Is this a woman's refuge? Or maybe a refuge for the homeless( since you are inbetween homes, my money is on that one ) ? As a youngster me and some of my pals went to Herne Bay,for a week, and stayed in a caravan, a great time was had by all. Oh those crazy, lazy, hazy days of our youth, sigh.........

Next time you move, you won't have so much stuff? Is that what you said, Fred? # Seriously, congratulations. And all the VERY best.

mjc from NM,USA


And the thought of visiting the Tws Pleasuredome will only be an added incentive... Good Luck!

Flying Cat from Cheshire Grin


Bon Voyage and Enjoy the new life Look forward to many more blogs from Lewis

Barebraes from Shapinsay


hi ALL, yes Tws you noticed it my poor spelling again maybe local rubbish dump would have been better? but pleasuredome sound good. Oh by the way you can see I am back on and up and running on the computer, but BT.....forgot to connect my broadband, so I'm on narrowband at the moment thanks again for you comments be back soon.

fred from Point


Blogging really would be a labour of love back on the old dial-up....it would try the patience of a saint...

Flying Cat from beatifying Fred


and Fred, in a guga induced can-do spirit, would even be willing, in the event the telephone lines went down, to send his messages on cleft sticks all the way to Aberdeen. Thank you Fredmeboy. By the way, I assume the squatters had vacated the premises before your Enzo Ferrari pulled in the driveway? or was it your Hummer that did the trick?! Keep us informed.

mjc from NM,USA


So then Fred, you are a Refugee? Does John Reid know about you? Do you have to wear a tag? If so, you're it...

Tws from The Soup Kitchen


mjc it would be the hummer if I had one? The house was fine I will take some pics of our temporary arrangements once broadband is up and running, my wife will deserve a medal for these temp living conditions.

Fred from home at last


Hi Fred hope you all arrived safely and are well on the way to unpacking. We wish you all the best for a happy future in your new home.... Best wishes Darren & Family

Darren from Wickford


Come on, Fred, a sign of life. Or are you too busy figuring out what to do with the house ghost? My advice, old chum, is live and let live. A little extra noise, an appearance in the dark of night as you proceed to the loo, - no big deal. Any house worth having deserves a ghost of its own, and you can sleep soundly, satisfied that you have not been cheated .

mjc from NM,USA


You should be chuffed we've descended so far down the blogging ladder just to see how you're getting on...not a peep...

Flying Cat from the bottom rung


Hi MJC and flying Cat, I'm still here making time for my friends we are cracking on at a pace trying to get the house to normality if that is possible. The weather again is being kind this week, so we have to do the internal work when it rains and the garden stuff when its nice, but enjoying every minute of it. Thanks for your comments, oh ive now added some pics of our temporary living arrangements

Fred from Totally knackered
