We’ve done it! We are back in England! Hence the title – given to us at the quiz night down the local. Door (as in Dorset) and Bell (as in Belgium). We have left dour old Brussels and are now deep in the country in West Dorset and it is brilliant! Why didn’t we move back years ago? A move from hell (and still quite a few boxes to be collected in Brussels) but we are ‘home’ at last. I have been away from England for 30 years and The New Husband for 20. Why? We have moved to a dear cottage in a lovely village and I have an Aga. What more could a girl want. As Miss Super Organised I am soon going to start a new blog on our new life here and will make an enormous effort to write one post a week. As The New Husband will be making quite a few trip back to Brussels, I will have some quiet moments sitting in the kitchen, surrounded by delicious Aga warmth as my fingers become a blur on the keyboard.
Yay! Thumbs up for the West Country and from one returnee to another, welcome home!
Glad you survived the move (traumatic memories of moving are still with me), and good luck in your new home. It looks lovely, and I share your love of Agas, although mine is a less sophisticated, Spanish version. Delicious warmth in the winter! Enjoy…
Oh, good news! I was quite worried about you as you seemed to be having a really shitty time. I’m glad to know you’ve sorted things out, and west Dorset – oooh jealous!!!
Good luck settling in, going down the pub, sitting by the Aga and enjoying the countryside. Brilliant choice!
Good luck in your new home….nothing like sitting by a warm stove for the feeling of both physical and mental comfort.
