I've been running around like a mad thing, tidying the house, polishing and doing all the things one should be doing when a house is about to go up for sale. It's not a good night for photos as a high wind has arisen and rain is predicted. The tidy driveway and garden are now awash with leaves. I shall go out with the blower shortly and no doubt all the neighbours will laugh seeing me do battle with the wind.

It's taken me six months to get the house ready for sale. I've had that many workmen in and I've spent hours in garden, planting and weeding. But it was well worth all the hassle as everything looks superb now ... I'm sad to have to sell but Terry is adament that he wants a shorter jorney into work and who can blame him. Bayside, city living will have its advantages but I will miss the peace and quiet and the privacy this house affords us nestled as it is on an acre.
