...this could be our new garden, complete with summer house, currently used as a studio by the resident painter. There is also a patio area for barbeques at the back door, which is where the photographer must have been standing when taking this photo.
We made an offer on a lovely 2-bedroom garden flat in Queen's Park today and the vendors accepted. Of course, under the English system it can all still fall through up until the very last minute, but we're very happy - and relieved not to have to give up our dream of living in Queen's Park and be exiled to South East London. It is just what we wanted, and just where we wanted to be as well.
It also means I can keep all my healthcare arrangements the same and we stay close to all the people we met in our antenatal class, my new friend Angeline and Geoff and Heike. And it's just a ten-minute walk to Kilburn on the Jubilee Line.
Bump's room has already got a large built-in bookcase and cunning shelving over the top of the door, which is inhabited at the moment by Paddington Bear, some of his friends and a lot of books and toy vehicles.
The only thing is that the vendors still have to find a new house to buy so it won't be a quick process. However, we could probably do with some breathing space to adjust to some of the other changes in our lives in the next few weeks...

Wondeful news... I guess the long settlement still means that "the Nanny" & I will sleep on the sofa!?
What sofa?! Don't panic - you'll be in the downstairs bedroom, same as last time.
