Barring an international disaster/flood/famine/fire or death we are moving house on Thursday 18th June.

Moving to Westcott, Bucks near Waddesdon and the new commute is stunning traffic free narrow, twisty B class roads instead of the pergatory traffic I currently deal with :cool:

Been a long hard slog to get to this stage as some of you know! Had to deal with 3 divorces, one of which is only communicating by post-it note living in the same house, a couple that do everything according to their effing horoscopes and want to sprinkle rice all over the house the day before moving and not least a proper shark of an estate agent!

Boys are signed up at a fantastic new school in Waddesdon.

Here's some pics of the new gaff - lots and lots of work needed.

Good luck with the move. I can't believe you took 3 pictures and didn't show the garage.....or does it have one? I know the wife tells me I'm sad, she reads the house details, I read the garage details. :)

I think that white building to the right is the actual house, whilst the red brick one to the left is the garage. Right? Minimal conversion work required, I’d say.

My exact thoughts when I saw it :mrgreen: Bu99er the house what size is the garage :twisted:

Waddesdon very nice Paul, loads of us stayed there for a PCGB dinner a couple of years ago (same day as Buncefield went up) Chris & Cindy, Helen & Larry were there as well. Can vouch for the nosh at the 5 Arrows!
Spoky I drove back past there today.
