Well hello!

Big news Our Wee Farm has sold. So much for the "It'll probably take a year".   It sold  last month - in 6 weeks to be precise! We were, or perhaps I should say, I, was very surprised, and initially not at all ready!
But I've had time to get used to the idea now and am getting very excited.  The good thing is that we have bits and bobs to do to the new place so Lloyd and I have been making lists and organising painters, kitchen people, flooring and all sorts, and really can't wait now that it's all happening.


It will be the end of an era for us, but I reckon my back will be thankful for the lack of mowing to be done at the new house.

The people who have bought it are lovely. If we could have chosen the perfect people we would have chosen them. Also they didn't want to move in until towards the end of March which is perfect. We've got to spend a last Christmas and summer here. 

The timing is also perfect for us to get some of the big inside work done on the new house before we properly move in, which should make things a lot easier. 

That's all for now! But I will definitely keep this place going, and make an attempt to get back into the swing of it all.

  2. So glad to see you back. I love your blog and can't wait to see what's around your new place. I've never been to Northland (I think that's where you are?) and it is definitely on my bucket list - along with the Cook islands!!

    Wow, you sold so quickly Laura, no wonder though, your house and farm are so lovely. It's good to hear that you'll still be blogging after your move, I was missing all your lovely photos and Bay of Islands stories. Good luck with your move and best wishes in your new home.
