We've now had 2 clear weeks at the Grange and it is already starting to feel like home. The boxes are confined to just a couple of rooms, we've found most things (though very worrying my River Cottage Booze book is still missing!) and are settling in. Ted now feels like he lives there and is making himself right at home. He has a new trick at the moment of lying in the middle of the road blocking any traffic from passing.
The kids are loving the new school and settling in beautifully. We all went to their assembly on Friday where they were both given awards for settling in so well. Harriett now has a huge list of friends that she would like to come over and play.
I am on my last week of commuting back down to Kings Langley, and it will be great to be up in Leconfield full time. Monday mornings starting at 5am and involving four and a half hours of driving are not that fun.
We are starting to make an impression on the land. The chickens now have an outdoor run where they are fenced in and protected from Mr Fox by some electric fencing. It is all ready now for the new Cockerel "Duke" to join the brood later in the week.
Fingers crossed with the integration of a cockerel with the chickens.Hopefully he won't harass the ladies too much. Once I get up there full time hopefully we can get some things planted and a polytunnel up. I suppose I ought to look at what needs to happen in the house too.
