Kitchen with wash room to back, living area to lefthand side, and Ben cooling off on the floor!

Some of you will know the commotion we’ve had with the house situation, but for those uninformed, then basically there is a huge housing crisis going on here (yes, all that land and they can’t build houses!). The rules are because we don’t have children (Ben doesn’t count) then we can’t have a 4 bedroom house, instead we have to live in a duplex (which is basically a semi-detached bungalow). We were rather annoyed about this for a while; however when we went to look at it our house is lovely, and still fairly big. To be fair, we wouldn’t have even gone into most of the bedrooms anyway, and they are more places for bugs to hide out and to vacuum! Our house has 2 bedrooms, a bathroom, toilet, huge open plan living area joining onto the kitchen and a wash room. The garden wraps round 2 sides of the house and Ben loves it as it is one two levels and had trees and plants, he is out there all the time! It also has a shaded patio area where our new BBQ and chairs are. We have air conditioning in both bedrooms, ceiling fans in bedrooms and living area as well as an evaporative cooling system throughout the house, so we should be cool enough anyway! It does feel really comfortable and homely, and we only have 2 boxes of freight left to unpack now so almost there!
