theatokosWe got the bungalow and the tenant, in an act of compassion, is moving this weekend!! We have a lovely small two bedroom attached cottage, with a small back yard and beautiful small kitchen. The owner is buying us a washing machine and a bed. We were so relieved last night that we slept for 15 hours. Actually, 13 hours, with a two hour Bennett fuss break around 2 AM.
Today I have decided that I am in love with Lampeter. The Friday fish monger gave me a free bag of cockles to try. Yum. I bought marmalade and strong garlic cheddar cheese from the farmers' market. I bought an electric tea kettle. It's gorgeous and friendly and seriously, everyone with kids should move here. When I take B inside a store I just leave the stroller outside. I think tomorrow I'll take some pictures while the sun is shining, but I'll post them in a week or so, once we move in and get internet set up.
I'm not sure I want to leave in three years' time. Perhaps this is just the honeymoon period. I know I'll feel differently in the dead of winter. But maybe not? So far, it's love.

When we first got here we were a bit shocked but the laws here about children are very strict and really there's no danger. It's very different here but it's a lovely difference.
You should love winter! It's incredibly cold but the beauty completely makes up for it! Can't wait for pictures! ;]
