| Our (temporary) view from the front door |
Yes, we moved! A little earlier than planned, and we didn't end up in our definite/permanent site yet, but the weather forecast predicted 10 days of rain so we thought it was better to 'get out of dodge' while we still could!
The place where we were staying was turning muddy already and we had to anticipate several other areas that would turn slippery with rain. Not a good scenario for moving a large and heavy RV, especially up a hill!

Fortunately everything went smoothly, it was a nice, sunny day and James did a fantastic job getting us out of our (very) tight driveway, into the equally narrow one at the new place and up the hill into our temporary spot :

We're next to that red barn where we could plug in our electric and where we can dump our sewer in it's sewage outlet.
Water is coming from the pump-house, just visible behind the truck.
The reason we're not in our permanent spot yet is the fact that we're still waiting for the gravel to come in.
Unfortunately the quarry is out of the right stuff and we'll have to wait a little longer for the good gravel to come in before we can arrange a delivery.
Ideally we would like for that to happen on a dry day, and although there aren't too many of those in the forecast there seems to be a chance of it next Wednesday so who knows, we might get lucky!
As far as the site goes, we've finished pretty much everything we had to do. All wires and conduits are in and buried:
As well as the electric to the green barn below:

An electric box was installed and the guy for our Internet came buy and set everything up (that little dish). Apparently it all works fine!
That same day our TV dish arrived as well:
Phew, it was a lot of work, time for coffee and donuts!
It rained the whole time until coffee-time when the sun came out and we could sit outside. Perfect timing!
We're very happy we made the move when we did because the next few days it rained pretty much non-stop!
We're all set up and dry and snug and warm.
I brought out the instant pot to make some Hungarian Goulash. Just the ticket for days like this!
In the meantime we had some more 'real' (appraisal) work come in, and now we don't have to think about moving anymore we have a much more relaxed time to work on those.
I assisted James today with several appraisals, and fortunately it stayed dry for the outside parts of those!
Driving to and from our appointments we enjoyed all the fall colors ..
The vineyards always look their best right now!
This was the driveway to one of the houses we were appraising. So gorgeous!
Although she didn't speak the language that well anymore, we had a fun conversation. It turned out her folks were from Castricum which is only half an hour from where I'm from.
It's a small world indeed!
OK, I think that covered most of what happened last week.
I think it's time to enjoy a well deserved glass of wine!
