Last week, one of our prospective neighbours (who bought the barn next door) knocked on the door to say hello. As she was leaving, she said that they were looking for a place in Coveney for her mother, to be near them. So I, naturally, mentioned that we were going to be looking to sell, and quoted a rough price. And she said they might be interested, and went away.

Today she was back with her husband, and they liked the place, and shook on a deal. So now we really are moving to Tennessee (subject to my Green Card letting me be an alien).

It wasn't the highest valuation, but it was way more than the lowest, and it appears to be a cash deal.

Realistically, we can go a year between meetings. And it's much easier to keep in touch than it used to be. Still, wah. But I am looking forward to hearing all about the relocation. I have actually quite fancied living in the US temporarily, just for the novelty value, not to mention the huge houses and tracts of land you can afford over there.

Wow. Looks good. Lots of space for the price, even in Tennessee. The soft market over here must be helping.

And a great big huge congratulations on the easy house deal on the UK end! That's fabulous.

(Okay, not Tennessee, fair enough.)

Congratulations, good luck, we'll miss you, etc..
