We're Here!

We are in England! It is hard to believe, but we have moved into our new house and are trying to figure out life in Hexham! We have been here for about two weeks, and yesterday was the first day we had internet or phones! Crazy! I have lots of pictures to catch you up on! Unfortunately I can't find the camera cord this evening. I'm sure I put it somewhere safe... So we'll just go with a few pictures that are already on the computer for today.

Here is the view we see each day. And it is the middle of winter! Can you imagine how beautiful it will be when it is summer?

This is the view out of the other side of the house. Our house used to be part of a farm. Well, it still is part of a farm, but these buildings have been renovated and turned into homes. Ours used to be a granary, which happens to be the name of our house. We're connected to these other houses that you see in the picture, and we have some really nice neighbors. One of the other families is also from America, and they are moving back in a few weeks. And just to show what a small world it is after all, the husband went to Clemson! We told him that orange is not our favorite, but we are glad to have a bit of South Carolina connection over here in England!

We have already adapted to our new home and are taking up tea time!

When in Rome, right? (Or England. Whatever.)

Oh, also, we didn't have a table for the first week and a half, so this counter and the window sills are where we had all of our meals! Those were some fun (and messy!) picnics!

What's that? You're ready to come visit us? Come on! We have a place for you!
