Home Sweet Home

After 2 false starts and a number of frustrations and disappoints, I have finally moved into a house.  This place is perfect and exactly what I asked for 5 months ago. 


It is in the Town of Thurso, it has a fenced garden for the dogs, it's very nice, but not too nice for two Labradors to live in and it's walking distance to everything.  It used to be the headmaster's house and the adjacent big stone building was the school.  It has a tremendous stone wall on one side and you can see the break, which has been filled in that must have been the gate the headmaster used to go to the school.






It has 3 bedrooms, 1.5 baths, an office, a open kitchen and a sitting room.  The bathroom upstairs has recently been redone and it's very nice with a giant shower and separate tub.  The beach is two blocks away and our park is about 4 blocks away.  


It's on the Dounreay side of town, which means I won't have to go through the center of town, which can be busy during rush hour. I know this made me laugh too, but everyone here says that.


The guys helped me move.  They packed and hauled everything - above and beyond the call of duty - and were rewarded Indian for dinner.  


It is good to be settled. And it's nice to have a place where I can have my shipment delivered; I am so sick of these clothes!
