Moving in day

Just realised that I missed out on a post for the moving in! What a travesty of justice...

On Saturday 14th May, we arrived at 16 Cariad Court, Goring-on-Thames. This is the place we will be calling 'home' for a while! It was a nice feeling to be getting into our own place as it finally felt like this trip was real, and not just a vacation spent at other peoples' houses and hotels...

So we are on the First floor. We have a small entrance passage, which we use to store our shoes in! As you walk through here, our very handy Kitchen is on the right, facing the road side. It is flanked by 2 storage rooms - 1 with the boiler and the other is where we now keep linen/blankets and our vacuum cleaner. Across the passage is the entrance to our Living Area  - a spacious, well-lit room with double bay window at the end, offering awesome views out over our garden and across the Thames river, into Streatley! It is probably the nicest room, and where we spend most our time!

We then have a double bedroom with en-suite bathroom, which is where Adam and I set up our stuff and proclaimed as our bedroom. It faces the road, but is nice and spacious and has more cupboard space than is necessary! Well unless I need to buy things for people back home from Topman ;)

There is then another bathroom (Mickaela's), and then the second bedroom, which, although not as big, has more great views across the river! The gardens are well-maintained and everything is very green and scenic! We can make our way down the path right to the river's edge, where the boat house is.


All in all, it is a really great place and the setting is beautiful! We moved in with great excitement and hope that everything will turn out for the best. If our accommodation is anything to go by, it definitely will!

PS: I will post some photos of what the place looks like now that it's furnished.
