House with Benefits

Incredibly it has already been 3 months since we moved into our new home. Plans to decorate are still just a few moodboards and the occasional 'oooh' when browsing magazines and online, but we are both still enjoying having a home of our own. These 3 months have passed by so quickly and yet it still feels new and exciting. I think one of the reasons is because as we get to know the house and the area we live in we keep finding new discoveries. For example:

* Our neighbours are amazing! Not only did they invite us over to meet the neighbours on the street within weeks of moving in, they came to our housewarming and certainly held their own!

* The takeaways at the bottom of the road are delicious! It's going to be a real struggle to not cave in every weekend.
 
 

* Now that we are heading into spring our garden is surprising us with new plants and flowers, who knows what else will appear over the next few months??



* There is a very good Next and TK Max store just a few minutes drive away which means if I have a funny few minutes and actually fancy shopping, I can go without the hassle of driving all the way into town and paying a fortune for parking.

But my favourite discovery so far is... The Bambi Woods!




 
I don't think that is their official name but all you need to know is that they a big and beautiful and they too have lots of surprises.

In fact, the swing discovery has only made me love them even more. Look how happy it has made Morgan too!


So here's to many more discoveries in the next 3 months.








P.S. This is why I love my sister...
