"All change please, all change".

Barring a few details, this will be our new pad (not the whole building BTW,
but more on that soon), after a fantastic few years in Leeds, we've made the
decision to head east, primarily because I'm a yellow belly, my family are
all in Lincolnshire, and I want my daughter to spend as much time with them
as she can. Also, my mum runs one of the best Montessori nurseries and
schools known to man, and it would be a travesty if Leila didn't attend
them.

I'll miss Leeds, and all the ace mobloggers here, but we promise to come
back regularly, and will of course expect you all to visit :)

We won't be moving for a few weeks yet, so I's really like to meet up with
you all at some point before we go, it'll mean you can all meet Leila as
well.

Fav anyone? :D

What a lovely place for her to grow up in.

Alfie says:

Mate, sounds like a plan to me. Are you going to cultivate a rural accent? :)

Joe says:

Aaaaaaar!

Alfie says:

Oh I see you've already been making some headway there, good good. This is a good move for you I think mate, for one thing it's going to be as sedate as you could imagine, but really let the family come together. The house looks really lovely.

Joe says:

Mate, you've never seen anything like it, it is one of the highest points in Lincolnshire, on a clear day you can see the Humber Bridge and Lincoln Cathedral from the kitchen. You really must come see it.

mat says:

"one of the highest points in Lincolnshire" - so about 3 metres above sea level then? :)

looks well nice though, am envious indeed. Do you get some land with that building too?

Joe says:

Hehe :)

It has about 17 acres, pretty much all you can see in the last shot and a bit more. It was at one point the largest sheep market in europe apparently!

We're just living on the top floor of the main house, the rest of it (and there are lots of other buildings) is being converted for other use.

Helen says:

Looks lovely. Will have to visit, indeed.

And definitely looking forward to meeting the little 'un, before you steal her away from us.

Rich says:

"for other use", eh? That's almost certainly going to be less interesting than whatever I'm thinking those uses are.

Nonetheless, schweet. We'll be almost neighbours! (don't let that put you off, though)

Joe says:

Yeh more on the "other uses" soon :)

perhaps we should set up a "trans wash" taxi service?

Rich says:

This would be the perfect opportunity to build two really really large Trebuchets. I have a dream of a nationwide network of trebuchets flinging stuff and people about.

14th Sep 2008, 18:55

Joe says:

I would like to offer both my engineering, and product testing skills to assist you in your dream.

please?

14th Sep 2008, 18:57

Rich says:

I am totally expecting you to do most of the work on this. It's on my bullet-pointed list.

Looks like a lovely place to be moving to. Any spare space to set up some ramps? ;)

15th Sep 2008, 12:35

Joe says:

Heh, I wish, I'm more concerned about how fast my internet connection will be :D

That's an awesome place - a great place to bring a kid up in :)

OJ says:

Congratulations. It's a sad day but I can see why you're doing it and it looks like a lovely place. And, if you subtract a whole lot of hills, looks damp enough to be my Welsh childhood there :)

*Refrains from laughing at mat's crack at Lincolnshire highpoints. Oops just did it*
