Sold! Our house sold last week and we have until the end of
the month to vacate. The auction went well with about six buyers in the room,
although not all of them were bidding. We were happy with the outcome.
Just prior to the auction we went across to Tauranga to have a look at
a fifth wheeler that had come in from Australia and was very like ours.
Not
alike enough to show you any inside photos, but similar to this one.
Sadly, ours will not be available now until about mid-April,
so we need to find somewhere to stay for two to three weeks. Favourite EX-favourite
son suggested a dishwasher box under a bridge… He is fortunate to be living on
the other side of the world or we could be arriving on his doorstep. At that
distance I expect he feels safe. Neither of us slept much the night of the
auction thinking about where we might end up, and I’m also thinking about the
fact that I need to have internet access and ability to work! Our sister-in-law
came to the rescue once again. Bless her. Says we are welcome to stay with
them, so unless the place where we’re buying the fifth wheeler pulls a rabbit
out of the hat, come first April, that’s where we’ll be for a little while.
Last Friday Dave brought home our new Ranger. Barely fits in
the garage – it seems HUGE! But we need something big to tow our new home, and this
one ticked the boxes. It’s a 4-wheel drive so should be able to pull us out of
any sticky situation. It’s also automatic, which makes
things easier. We
are adding tinted windows and a few other useful bits and pieces. It was going back
into the shop this week for these extras to be added, but the air con in my Citroen has been playing up, so things are a bit delayed while we sort that one out. After both vehicles are all done, it'll be off to Tauranga to get the
hitch fitted.
Step by step, it will happen.
