Ah, thinking about it, H is coming the weekend before his birthday so actually will be here on the 27th, so I think I'll hang onto it, as this one took over a week to arrive. Good idea though

They got the house (actually a cottage) Much (much) smaller than the one they are leaving, with little outside space for the children and no off-street parking BUT easier and cheaper to heat, bigger than it looks inside apparently, walking distance to school, childminder, us and Miss Osc's office. It is very rare that houses come up for rent in this area, mostly apartments. When they get past the initial moving stage, deposit etc. SIL reckons they will save well over €1,000 a month between lower rent and heating costs which will surely ease the pain of the differences - and it has a nice view too. They have to rent from 1st February but won't move till mid February.

That sounds ideal in lots of respects then Osc, especially being close to you xx

[Kaz]

Really p!eased for you all Osc, sounds good!

[JoM]

Really good news Osc, you must all be so relieved!

Took Bill up the Chase tonight to where we knew the paths wouldn't be quite so muddy and had to turn back and go a different way because there was another nasty accident. We could see three ambulances, a fire engine and various police vehicles. It was on a crossroads that's notoriously dangerous, the traffic which has the right of way is either approaching over the brow of a hill or around a bend and people speed despite the signs warning about deer crossing.

[Kaz]

Oh that sounds like a nasty accident Jo

[JoM]

Can't find anything online about it, so hopefully no one was badly hurt. They were very lucky if that's the case.

Glad they got somewhere to live Osc and what a saving!

I lasted 20 minutes doing the weeding - that wind is sooooo cold
