New Home

Merlin coming up the stairs from the basement (where the kitty litter is) and chasing something Very Interesting.
The garden bed as a work in progress.

Peter changed our kitchen tap - it's been a busy September!


Our kitchen.
Peter also hung our Sun - on the back wall, facing the garden and the setting actual sun.
Enjoying a meal at the table.
On said weekend in September, Peter hung shelves and our pagan wheel of the year.


The garden bed Peter dug and I planted over a couple of weekend's in September. Underneath the dirt is a bunch of bulbs we'll enjoy in the Spring. To the right is a Juniper bush/tree, second from the right is a yew, both are evergreens and will give us something to look at in the winter. The two plants to the front are rose bushes - one looks a bit sickly but we have faith it'll come good. The front door.



In June, Peter and I settled on our new home. Since I moved to Canada, we'd been renting around town, but were finally ready to buy (and able to qualify for a mortgage!). In Sydney, I'd been an investment property owner, but this was a whole new ball game. We bought what's called a link home, where two homes are built close togehter, like terrace or town houses - no common walls, but they have a shared slab in the foundation. While our basement is totally separate from the house next door, the technically have the same slab of concrete underneath.
