Apparently reality TV has affected me more than I care to acknowledge. I think I had subconsciously been planning a big “Ta da! Look at how quickly we unpacked” post. Until today when I realized how far in the future such a post would occur. We have made significant progress – Facebook friends might have noticed it by the various meal photos that have been posted

But what you have been spared (or have missed depending on your perspective) as blog readers is a blow-by-blow account of the initial trials and tribulations. It is also due partly to our lack of internet access (I will whine about that soon) and there is only so much wit and wisdom I can relay from my phone.

So I ask your patience and promise to regale you with tales of establishing residency, meeting the neighbors, the bunnies of Brookside, finishing the unpacking, and starting work. And of course more photos of food, the new house and tallies of wine consumed!
