We thought we’d move in the weekend we got the keys. Boy were we wrong! .. plastic tiles taped around the walls and in the shower. If the shower is leaking, you gotta fix it before you using it. And while we’re at it, let’s do a whole bunch of other things;)

The very first night we got the keys, excited Daddy and Tertius ripped up the carpet in the living room to reveal a lovely hardwood floor.

The evening of our move – a hot cup of tea on the couch under the fan next to the banana trees. Waking up the next morning feeling like we’re in our own little cottage – so lovely.
