Well completion day arrived and we have not long had the phone call from the solicitors to confirm that the house sale is now complete.

As a friend told me yesterday we are ” houseless” but not “homeless”.

We finished off at the house yesterday evening and I did not want to write about it yesterday because it was very emotional. We had lived at that house for just over 11 years and there were lots of memories and emotions we have gone through living there. Roy locked the door and I cried in his arms for a while and he was quite emotional also. We had gone to the house in separate vehicles so we both had to drive back to the marina separately. I cried nearly all the way back, it was just very hard because it was once our family home.

As soon as we arrived back at the boat last night we were both ok. The boat is now home and it has felt home for quite a while now. It is where a new chapter of our lives begin. New memories to make and new adventures together.

Looking forward to the weekend as there will be a bonfire and fireworks on Sunday here at the marina. We will certainly be cracking open a bottle of champagne that we have been saving for new beginnings!
