We've arrived in Blackheath and it's fantastic. We absolutely love the flat. You see a place a couple of times and you think it's going to work but you never know until you get there. Luckily, this place is just wonderful. I'm glad we did the whole house-in-the-burbs thing but we are definitely more flat-in-the city types and it's great to be back.
Blackheath Village is great too. Tobes and J have walked down to the heath almost every day to kick the ball around. On Sunday morning they headed out early and I had a leisurely morning then went to meet them for breakfast. They had met another Dad on the heath with twin three year old boys and become fast friends. The other guys just happened to be meeting up with their mum in the same cafe so we all had breakfast together. In almost three years living in Chislehurst we never met anyone so easily. We all had quite a bit in common and the boys had a great time together. It felt like a very good omen.
We've also bumped into Philippa and her parents at different times, which is really nice. I think when you start bumping into people you know a place really starts to feel like home.
So, it's been a fantastic start. The only problem is that my back has gone out again so I've become quite useless as far as unpacking and arranging things. The docs say I should be better by the end of the week and the drugs I've been given certainly take the edge off. Fingers crossed that I'm back on my feet again by the weekend.
