we bought the house after appearing on BBC TV's Escape to the Country
We in the US can see 'Escape to the Country' on www.dailymotion.com. I ran across the show a few months back and my husband and I are hooked. So tonight we got to see your episode. I think this is one of our favorites -- due to the horses aspect, and the lovely, peaceful setting you have. Wishing you many, many years of happiness in that idyllic spot.
ReplyDeleteOh thank you for that - I'll let people know!
ReplyDeleteThis really makes me want to pack my bags and move to England!
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean Ursula!
DeleteIt was so wonderful to see a family actually buy a house on the programme. So often I watch and you never know what happens to the folks afterwards. In this case I've not only been able to share your journey but I've discovered a new author and her books to explore as well. I hope you will all be very happy in Devon ( my father's birth place) and look forward to reading all about your adventures on your blog - so thank you for sharing it all with us.
ReplyDeleteFrom Christine in rural Lincolnshire - yearning to sell up and move to Northumberland!
Thank you Chris - I felt I had to share the adventure of finding and buying our home because it is so lovely here I wanted to share what I could.
ReplyDeleteTrue Good Luck is rare, and we were blessed with a huge dose of it - keeping it all private just didn't seem right somehow.
It is up to us now to make the happiness continue - and we do smile a lot more than when we were in London!"
For yourself,I hope the yearning stops soon and the doing starts!
The kitchen pictures are great. Love everything about that room but mostly, the clothes horse, pot rack and Aga and not necessarily in that order.
