My 1st day

I think I will start this with a cliche. Today really is the first day of the rest of my life.
The better half & myself have given up our jobs in London & moved to beautiful rural Suffolk with our cats . We plan to open a B&B in the spring & live the life we have always wanted. Over the next few months I will try to entertain with the highs & lows of getting this venture off the ground. Everything from installing a new septic tank to choosing fabric for the curtains. I hope most of it will be pleasurable but am sure there will problems.
Just moving in was not without it's trials. The better half left London early to be up here for the movers & I came on later with cats so that when I arrived I could move them straight in. I should have realized that however hard I try to plan things the law of sod has other ideas.
First the money took forever to get through so we didn't get the keys until 3.30 then the sellers hadn't quite moved out. What it boiled down to was that because it got dark at 4, our movers couldn't unload until Monday. So as I sit here writing this, we have only a bed, a television & a sofa. No pots,pans,chairs or clothes! Not quite what I planned for the start of my new life.
But when I woke this morning to the sun rising through the trees & a pheasant on the lawn I knew it was all going to be worth it.
The cats are completely flummoxed by the move. They are quite elderly & not used to change. However that hasn't stopped Tabitha (black with white whiskers) from examining every nook & cranny & getting shut in various cupboards. Susie(tabby with a superior air) has taken over the one chair we have as her bed, & will not move. I can't wait to let them out to explore but know they must stay in for a couple of weeks so they don't stray.
