blogging makes me nervous...

This is my first time making a blog, and it may be my last depending on how easy this process is. But I think that this will be the best way of keeping all informed on my life. I don't enjoy writing, but I love photos, so you will have to make some of the story up with your own imagination based on the pictures.  So here it goes...

I'm in Bristol, finally, after flying to Toronto, driving to New York, flying to Iceland and then to England, Then driving/ferry ride to Belgium, and then back to England. YAY!

Of course our first night here we had to have pizza, especially after carrying everything up to the top flat.

I love the windows in our place. The all have such a great view of Bristol!

Our bedroom. We are still sleeping on air-mattresses, but our real bed arrives Tuesday, however we still need a duvet cover.

So, that was the first night and NOW..... FOR THE GUIDED TOUR! After a week of Pete being back to university and extra rainy days, I have had plenty of time to organize, decorate and reorganize and redecorate. Pete said that every time he came home something had changed. 

Kitchen

I have an addiction to Le Creuset right now. We got a pot from Pete's aunt, and then some of Pete's medic friends gave us two casserole dishes and I also found the kettle and utensil holder really cheap online.  But I have promised myself no more..

Storage room! i love storage

The lounge, with random pieces of furniture. We are still looking for a couch and kitchen table. But the coffee table will be grey and the wine rack top will be teal. I have the paint, but am just waiting for a sunny day.

And the amazing painting that Pete's brother Paul did and gave to us for our wedding present.

 

 That cabinet was from Pete's parents basement, which we sanded and cleaned up. I LOVE it.

Guest room posing as our laundry room right now.

A view from the guest room.

And that's me! Pete told me to wave to be sure everyone could see me in the picture.

And this is our home. Top Flat, 63 Cotham Brow. It has a great view of Bristol since it is on top of the massive hill in Bristol. Great to get to anywhere, but a serious hike to get back.

Well that is all for now.. This was not as painful as I had imagined so I may be back.
