Moving to...

Right then, let’s get the kettle on. Have a little chat, a bit of a catch up. Anything new in your neck of the woods? Mine, you ask? Is there any news from me?

Yes. Oh yes there is. By golly is there ever.

I mean, it’s all I’ve thought and talked and dreamed about for 5-and-a-half very short but seemingly endless week. There have been lists with pros and lists with cons, whispered discussions while the Bean fell asleep between us. There has been trawling of my faithful friend google - how in God’s name did anyone find out about child benefits and nursery fees and job opportunities before the internet?? There has been fretting at 4 A.M. and also a few tears when it felt like the decision was going to overwhelm us. There…

What? Oh yeah sorry, the actual news.

We’re moving to Sweden. Just like that.

NOT. Not just like that, I mean. It’s going to be one heck of an experience, with plenty of ups and downs. I hope to have time to write about it, so I’ve added a little blue & grey badge on the right that says “Moving to Sweden”. It'll take you to a page which, I’m sure, will be filled with my panic-stricken rants about boxes and euphoric songs of praise about cosy Nordic blankets. In due course I’ll tell you why and how we’ve decided to do this (not least to remind myself in the tough times). I hope you’ll join us for the journey!

Anyway. Looks like there will be a little less gelato and a lot more windswept beaches for us in the near future. I'm excited :-)

Oh yes it's a huge relief! It wasn't an easy decision, but now we've made it we feel very happy and comfortable with it. As long as I don't think about the packing, that is!! Xx

Oh WOW that's very exciting news - and given how beautiful your pictures of Sweden were I can see it being somewhere it would be very easy to fall in love with. Fingers crossed you will have some time to write during all the upheaval because it sounds like an amazing adventure!

Yeah, I did kind of fall in love with it immediately. In any case, an adventure it will certainly be! I just need to get me some proper winter clothes now...

By all rights I SHOULD be really busy but I have to admit I've been sticking my head in the sand about the whole situation. I just don't know where to start!

Wow... So the decision is finally made!! What a relief for you all to know where you're heading (both literally and figuratively!) and to no longer have that pressure hanging over you to make the decision. But I can only begin to imagine the house ahead of you that will be filled with research, paperwork, planning etc!! So congratulations and, perhaps more importantly, GOOD LUCK!!

Yes the decision is finally made and YES it feels like a huge relief! To be honest I'm still riding high on that and am totally in denial still about all the palaver that comes with moving... But thank you for wishing me luck, because I know that very soon I am really, really going to need it ;-)
