a few days

Apologies for the phone posting and the Instagram pics – we don’t have the computer and Internet connection set up yet … or indeed anything else for that matter. Still, it is amazing to be here, in our new home, in this wonderful landscape. Lots to be done!

    Although I have never met you, Tom and Bruce, all I could think is that your new home and surroundings were so “you”. You seem to fit right in. Congratulations on your new home and the best of luck! Have fun finding out all about the little nooks and crannies of your new place~

  3. I am so happy for you, Kate! It looks like such a beautiful place to live. The first year in a new home is always such an adventure – so many new places to discover and explore.

  4. Bruce looks like he’s waiting (patiently?) for the Boss to move outta “his” spot in front of the fire! What a lovely place to live, may you have many happy days there.

  5. It’s incredible. So many congratulations to you!

  6. I’ve been sighing over the beauty of your new place on IG, but wanted to leave a congratulations here as well.
    I hope the new locale will continue to feel magical and perfect for you for a long, long time!

  7. What an utterly gorgeous place! I wish you much happiness there :)

    With a working stove at the heart it is already a home and the rest will fall in to place gradually.

  10. I agree with Candice, many places for Bruce to make home. And Jesus, he’s still home, right? You must be so glad to be in your new home, and things are getting settled. Good for you. Congratulations!

  11. How exciting, Kate. New places for Bruce to make his own.

  47. Beautiful! Welcome home.

  48. It looks like you,Tom and Bruce are home.

  49. A beautiful place indeed. I was a bit taken aback at the lack of clearance around the wood stove. I am planning a move too so these things are on my mind! You can’t get away with that in Canada.

  51. It looks a little bit of heaven! Congratulations!

  67. Wishing you all much happiness in your new home.

  68. Thanks for sharing the new place with us. I hope that the rest of the process goes smoothly and well for everyone. (Is it my imagination, or does Bruce look slightly less happy-go-lucky than usual?)

  69. Wow! Just beautiful!

    Congratulations.
