Settling in

We've lived in London over 6 years now and lived in this flat over 10 months but we're still settling in. We're getting there though. Now we've all got permanent residence we've purchased a few new things and have settled in a bit more.

Recent 'settling in' purchases have included wardrobes for our bedroom, Theo was instrumental in building these from flat pack.

We've also purchased a slow cooker, something I've been saying we'll buy when we've got permanent residency. So far I've cooked goat stew, pulled pork and a soup. All have been yum, the pork was my favourite although it was very rich.

Last week we got a hat stand, which I'm very excited about. Another flat packed piece of furniture which Theo helped put together.

 Jackie has also got more storage containers which means we can more easily keep the house tidy.


We're so settled in that I even had time to bake some hot cross buns yesterday. Theo helped, mainly with eating them.

Look good! They tasted good too although I've got a few changes I'll make for the Good Friday batch.

Theo had his afternoon sleep in his big bed, he slept well but was  a bit confused and upset when he woke up

  1. You are both so lucky to have Theo the all round handy man. The builder, the baker and the buggered at the end of his hard day.
