Our Home in the UK

After much unpacking and many furniture deliveries, we are finally REALLY living in our house and settling in. We love the layout of our new home, especially the back patio overlooking the creek. There are a lot of ducks living back there that are fun to watch, including a mama duck with five ducklings! Here are some photos from around the house.


Some of the more interesting differences between our US home and our UK home are:

• We don't have closests in our UK home (typical for over here). As a result, we have a large wardrobe closet that we actually built inside our room. (It'll have to be taken apart before it can leave!)
• Our bathroom has the weird half-glass door as part of the shower rather than a full door or shower curtain. It doesn't seem like a big deal, but if you're not careful, you can get water EVERYWHERE!
• We don't have air conditioning, so we have our windows open every day. (And as a note, they also don't have screens on the windows so we often have flys that come in!)
• Finally, our house is now "vertical" rather than "horizontal" - we don't have much space on each floor, but we have a total of 3 different levels, including the top floor that we mentioned before for our guests. =)

We are officially ready for visitors, so let us know if you are planning to jump the pond. ;)
