Hermit crabs no longer. After two years of having No Fixed Abode we have finally arrived HOME. It feels sooo good to have an address and phone number that will be the same for the next 20 years (atleast, hopefully). And to actually be living at that address - ok maybe half our Stuff is still elsewhere but at least we are here, albeit in the shed surrounded by piles of rubble and the odd digger and builder.
The reference to hermit crabs by the way relates to the reason why we sold our house two years ago and moved into the unknown - they are creatures who leave behind their old shell and go in search of a new one vulnerable and unprotected. God spoke to us then and has led us every step of the way - via a few adventures - and brought us to this place in his timing. The thought of his love is a nugget of gold. And this land he has brought us to continues to speak to us of how lavish and bounteous he is.
Here are a few of the latest pics:-
Blossom and bricks.....
Crab apple, the old lounge (to be stripped and renovated starting next week), and the builders portaloo.....
New dormer windows from the scaffolding.....
This will be the kitchen....
And the pantry....
And we can't resist planting things at this time of year.... here's our little veg patch with our current 'home' behind. The shed is a great place to be in the warm, but pretty cold when the temperature drops - it's definitely better than a tent though - and even the eco-loo now has a tap to wash your hands. The lap of luxury.
