All sorts of other stuff has happened since I last posted, I'll maybe get around to that some other time. Right now, I have a sermon to write, but I've been meaning to post this for about a week..
I've spent a fair amount of time hanging about in London since I finished work, partly for the purpose of finding us somewhere to live.. which we now have :D :D :D After much slogging round the streets of north London wearing myself and the soles of my shoes down, we've managed to get ourselves a rather nice little flat in Tufnell Park, in Camden. It would have to be the first one I looked at as well wouldn't it?! But that aside, its very exciting. Its a lot more spacious than most for the same price range, due to it being an ex-council flat in a not very inspiring large block, but the area is nice, quiet and green, and very close to Hampstead Heath. There were estate agent photos, but I think its been taken off now, but we'll get some once we're settled.
Now begins the manic-ness of organising and trying to ship me and all my stuff down the country.. so far we have a van and a merry (or at least willing) group of helpers. This Sunday is my last service in Shrewsbury, so once the sermon-writing is out of the way, the packing shall begin in earnest.
Excitement, madness, occasional panics about practicalities, and just wanting it all to be done, but definately excitement still. I've lost count of the number of times we've said 'one day..' I don't think its going to sink in properly till we're there together surrounded by boxes and realise neither of us is leaving to go home..
