SURPRISES! AND DILEMMAS!!

What a fab time I've been having.
First of all I got the most gorgeous package from Linda (Stripeymonkey) which contained a beautifully wrapped box and these fab buttons!





Oh the button joy!!! My smile must have been a mile wide! (Thanks Linda - a little something will be on its way to you soon). So with it being such a glorious day today Morgan and I had a jolly jaunt down to the park to go in the swings and take photos of the buttons as I've been waiting for a nice day to get some good snaps.




Now - onto dilemmas - were house hunting at the mo. We just got the right offer on our house and the one we had an offer on fell through. So were back to the drawing board. We were hell bent on getting a house with garden - but I've seen this fab double fronted end terrace that is VERY quirky and totally rustic and gorgeous... but you guessed it ... no garden. It has got a yard - but not a very big one, but you could make it nice and it has got the race course and the best park in York near by. What should we do??????????????????????????

My concern is that a garden may be the only bit of unsupervised freedom our little one gets in a city... but then it could be a stop gap house ... it is amazing.... any thoughts would be very much appreciated! I didn't have a garden growing up but I had the run of a village and a beach... we don't know what to do!

opinion? you don't want to be thinking of moving again in a few years. what's the street like for playing out in? could the yard be playmatted for a climbing frame? if not, keep looking imo... GREAT news about the offer. oh and consider renting so that your sale goes through and you don't end up buying something that's not 100%? xx

yet more yummy buttons! i'd love to be able to have a rummage through Linda's collection... ;)

as for house hunting, definately wait for the right one... you never know what is going to happen in life and you don't want to get stuck somewhere you'd rather not be... good luck!
