A year since our first night here

It is a year since we spent our first night here. We completed on the purchase on a Friday and then stayed the weekend. It was all a bit surreal.
My main memory of the weekend is returning to London feeling like we had spent a weekend on Raymond's farm and were now heading back to 'real life'. Now this is REAL LIFE for us!!

Raymond was planning to move to French Polynesia which was why he sold the farm but after a few months there changed his mind and has now bought another farm locally. I think he would like to have bought this one back off us perhaps but now he has a new place is happy again. He has promised to invite us round when he moves in.
