It's Official - We Have an UK Address

The last few days have been extremely busy! We finally signed the lease on the home we mentioned before and are in the process of moving in now. Now that we have an address, we can actually start doing stuff! We are finally working on getting our UK bank account; we received our stuff from the States; and we have started to order furniture since the place is currently empty. Setting up phone and cable has been a real pain though, so because of that (and because our furniture won't arrive for at least a week or two), we are still living in the hotel. We are spending most evenings/weekend time at the house though just trying to get organized and settled. There have definitely been some hiccups that have come up as we have transitioned to a British home, but we will write about those later. =)

In the meantime, here are some photos from our move-in so far. =) Brian was crushing boxes and paper, in case you were wondering. And the other photo is King Albert I - can you believe we found an Orange and Blue Gator in this small English town? The Gator Nation really is everywhere. =)

  1. Hi good to see you are begining to settle in. Eastgate St is I think a good place to live being close to town with two pubs close by The Greyhound and The Fox.

    In previous centuries Eastgate St was the home of the old fish market.

    You may have seen the ruins of a 13th century hospital in Easgtae St - St Nicholas?
    Not to scare you (but you did mention ghosts in one of your posts ) but you also get your own ghost see link http://www.paranormaldatabase.com/hotspots/burystedmunds.php
