Guest Posted June 30, 2007 Posted June 30, 2007 Well, we've made it! Our move to Dorset went ahead this week we are now installed in our brand new apartment. We are sitting on camp chairs surrounded by boxes. Our new furniture is arriving in two weeks. We are so relieved that the move is over as the past few weeks have been quite stressful. If only it would stop raining, we could go out and enjoy our new surroundings. Now my retirement really begins! Quote
Guest Posted June 30, 2007 Posted June 30, 2007 Sounds lovely! Dorset really is a lovely part of the world. Enjoy your retirement! Quote
Guest Posted June 30, 2007 Posted June 30, 2007 Welcome to the South West Gail! We have lived in Devon for over 20 years and love it. Hope the move wasn't too stressful and that you will be pleased with your new furniture! (When it arrives.....) Quote
Sue R Posted June 30, 2007 Posted June 30, 2007 Hi Gail, Wish you all the best, Hoping we can have that sort of retirement soon..... Lots of hugs, Sue x Quote
luluj Posted July 1, 2007 Posted July 1, 2007 What a wonderful part of the world to be! Wishing you a very happy retirement! Wish it was me! luluj Quote
Guest Posted July 1, 2007 Posted July 1, 2007 Hi How exciting for you - hope you enjoy living in this part of the country! I'm in the South by the sea. Think I remember seeing that you are in North Dorset - you've got so many places right on your doorstep. What I did notice though was this ......... you've just moved, haven't got your furniture yet BUT your computer and internet is up and running - it would be so hard to live without it now wouldn't it!!!! Sorry about the rain - it's just making all those fields nice and green! Good luck Janice Quote
JacquieL Posted July 1, 2007 Posted July 1, 2007 Oh well done on completing your move ....well nearly complete. Don't worry there will be lots of sunny days to come. An apartment sounds interesting- that is something we are beginning to consider for when my husband retires in five years time, as I don't think we can afford our dream cottage. House prices are so high now, and we have never had a mortgage as we live in tied accomodation at present. Now somewhere by the sea sounds delightful but we wish to stay 'ooop' north. Enjoy your new adventure. Quote
Guest Posted July 1, 2007 Posted July 1, 2007 How exciting - a new house and your retirement! I shall be thinking of you Monday morning as I mope off to work!!! Quote
Guest Posted July 1, 2007 Posted July 1, 2007 Thanks everyone! The sun is shining today - just. Janice - my husband's priorities were phones, television and computers. He, too, cannot manage without the internet. Quote
Guest MaryEMac Posted July 1, 2007 Posted July 1, 2007 Have a happy and fulfilled retirement Gail. Mary Quote
Deb Posted July 1, 2007 Posted July 1, 2007 Welcome to Dorset! Have been here 18 years now and have put down roots, surrounded by such natural beauty. Don't worry the sun will be back soon. Quote
Guest Posted July 1, 2007 Posted July 1, 2007 Dorset is a lovely part of the country. Enjoy your retirement! Quote
Rea Posted July 1, 2007 Posted July 1, 2007 I know we shouldnt wish our lives away but you draw such a lovley picture it's hard not to. My dream is to retire to a place over looking mountains or the sea rather than the house across the road. Enjoy your retirement Quote
