It's time for a change. Joanna and I have been living in the Dingley Dell apartment for the last three years (ever since we first got married!). It's been a great place, lots of light, lots of good time here and the unforgettable name, Dingley Dell (and all its associated rhyming pseudonyms). But the time has come for us to move on.

And move on we will, about 1.7 kms North West to Garthland.

I'm very excited to have a garden AND a place to put some tools, that doesn't look like one of the cupboards in the office desk. It's a nice property with an arbutus out front and some Garry Oaks out back. I'm going to have to re-acquaint myself with a lawn mower, but I'm looking forward to being able to get back into doing that kind of work. Lately, the only time I get to do outside work is when I get up to Hardwicke, which is great, but I'm looking forward to having my own place to put some of my pent-up crazy ideas into action.

So without further ado, here's a picture of what to look for if you come and visit. And if you know someone who is looking for a two bedroom suite to rent in January... let me know!
