Busy but good

Work for mew is getting very busy at the moment. My boss is off this week, and I've already have two things come my way today that I wouldn't have if he had been here. He's off sking. Hmmm... alright for some.

Anyway, the house move is moving forward smoothly, for now. There was another house we were trying to buy before this one, but we didn't land up getting it in the end. We had assumed there would be abortive costs, but today our solicitor said there wouldn't be. Hurrah!

Well, that's todays news done. By the way, you can leave comments by clicking on the link below each entry. Give it a go!

New Pictures of Marshall Square

We had a more detailed look around our new house yesterday and took a bunch of photos to remind ourselves what needs doing. I had brought a chair to stand on so I could look into the loft, but it turns out that didn't give me quite enough height and I still couldn't see in. Thank goodness for our new digital camera! Our Canon Powershot A620 has a swivel screen so I could hold it up high but angle the screen down so I could see into the loft! Anyway, here are the photos we took, in case you're interested. That freezer is going to need some cleaning!

Movers and Shakers

And now for our first piece of proper news... We're trying to buy a new house! So here's a photo of it. Its close to the centre of Southampton, so its great for walking to the train station, Steph's school, the Common (a big bit of grass and trees) and the city centre itself. Tomorrow we're going to start our search for a sofa!

Welcome back to thebartons.net

Welcome back! The old website, as you may have noticed, had not been updated since we left Canada, which is very poor. In a way I didn't want to add to it as it was kind of a testiment to our time there. However, we also wanted to get something up and running again to keep everyone up to date with what we are doing. So hence this website - a simple offering, but hopefully effective and easy to update. We can post photos and stuff as well, so you can see us as well as read about us (sorry).
