Settling In

We've been in Bury St. Edmunds for about a week now, and things are going great! We went house hunting on Friday and are negotiating for a place right now. It's a great 3-story house (we would call it a townhome in the states) that is located right in the center of town. We love the layout, but it definitely needs some updating (think 1950s British granny!) The owner is willing to paint, redo bathrooms, etc., so hopefully we will sign on something and be in a place soon. Until then, we are staying at the Angel Hotel (see picture below). It's nice having people clean up and cook for you, but it'll also be nice to be in our own place and be able to cook (oh yeah, and have more than one room!) =)


In the meantime, here are some photos from around town. It has so much character and history (but also shopping and modern conveniences!) =)

  1. Question: How do you have a deparment store and a grocery store in the same store? Is this like a mini-SuperTarget? Or Dillards mixed with Publix?

  2. It's a private label, 3-level store with a really good grocery store on the ground level and then a JC Penney-type department store on the other 2 levels. They have a really great meal deal every week where you can get dinner for 2 (including wine or beer) for only 10 pounds! We'll take you by when you come to visit. =)
