Welcome to the Chestnut! It’s a 3 bedroom first and second floor flat in the same area of town I grew up in. There are a few overpriced local shops just up the road, Rock Park is just down the road and we’re a bit closer to town, supermarkets and the church.
Here is our sitting room with doors leading out onto the south-facing balcony. I’m planning to grow some herbs, plant some hanging baskets in the summer and maybe even grow tomatoes out there!
The new kitchen is much smaller than our old one, but it has far more storage space and is lovely to work in.
The third downstairs bedroom is currently being used as a study / music room / playroom.
Oh and did I mention that we have two bathrooms? One with a shower downstairs and one with a bath upstairs!
The attic bedrooms are very cute but it was hard to fit the wardrobes into them! They both have large storage areas at the sides under the rafters, which means no more clutter under the beds or ontop of the wardrobes.
We spent last week packing and moving our smaller belongings across town in Dad’s car, then we hired a van on Satuday to move our furniture with much help from my parents, James and DJ. By Saturday lunchtime I was so exhausted that I could only climb half a flight of stairs before having to crawl the rest of the way! Thankfully unpacking seems to be a lot easier and quicker than packing up, and we are now completely sorted in our new home. Aaron has settled in well considering what a hectic couple of weeks he’s had.
Tomorrow Colin has a trial day working in a factory, which may result in him being offered a job there. He’s been desperate to get back to work for ages and is finally feeling well enough to give it a go. Hopefully his memory will be able to cope with this kind of work, so we’re praying that if he does get the job his health will be good enough to allow him to keep it.
