Lady in Waiting
The departure date has been pushed back to when? no one knows. We finished our trip with 3 choices for housing. The rash was beaten back by figuring out the active ingredient in US Benedryl and searching for it on a UK pharmacy site. Turns out the only over the counter with the drug in it was a sleep aid. After using it every four hours, you don't get sleepy at all really. So house choices, the first one was within walking distance of the school we wanted to send the kids to. Before we made our choice apparently someone decided they liked it to and made an offer. One down two to go. We made an offer on our second choice and were told that the owner hadn't decided whether they were going to continue to let the property or sell. Found out this week they decided to sell. So on to choice three. It's located in a small village town outside of Sheffield in the Peak District. Little Man will go to the local state school. Lady Jane, who will be taking the equivalent to preschool, will be going to an all girls private school in the fall. The house is gorgeous and seems relatively new. It's slightly back from the main road behind a bank. It has a name not an address. It has a stunning kitchen and amazing master bed and en suite bath. They have wonderful furniture which they were willing to leave behind, but given the kids' ages, we decided it would probably be best to purchase furniture. We will have a spacious guest room (the children will share a room) and are more than willing to have guests.
The village is only 10 miles outside the edge of Sheffield, so we can do some shopping there. However, across main street is a produce stand and a gas station/grocery store. There are three outdoor stores (rock climbing/hiking) within walking distance and a nice inn down the road. The local school is about a block and a half. There are many hiking trails nearby. So here's hoping that we get our third choice.
