Six months on.....

St Alphonse
Yesterday's weather was beautiful, not a cloud in the sky

Today is our six month anniversary. It hardly seems possible that we arrived here on 1 February when the ground was covered in snow. We unloaded two cars, three cats, a thousand tea bags and two huge pots of Marmite amongst other items. Oh yes, and my Mum who came to help us settle in.

The cats were very good on the journey. I don't know if the herbal remedy I'd been feeding them helped but they were a lot calmer than we expected them to be and when we got here they settled in a lot quicker than we expected them to. Jazz immediately took up residence under the buffet and the other two explored. When Jazz finally came out she took a fancy to a crocheted blanket Mum had brought with her and which she kindly donated to the cats (only we know the REAL reason why Mum didn't want it back and I won't go into that here). It is still Jazz's favourite bed companion.

So, six months on and where are we? Still waiting for the windows to be delivered. Still waiting for the chalet, shed and shower to be delivered. Still waiting for the kitchen units to be delivered........ Even Amazon has let me down this week. I was expecting 6 books yesterday and only one turned up. However, our usual postman was obviously training a temporary replacement to cover the round while he is on holiday and they visited us twice yesterday, having forgotten the book the first time round. Perhaps they still had the rest of them at the end of their round.

We are going to celebrate our six months. We just haven't decided how yet.
