Last week I wrote about and I deciding to spend two nights in a local hotel, to briefly escape the chaos and discomfort of our new land.
It's now 4 days later and we are feeling a lot better.
Eventhough we had to move back into our tent again, 3 nights ago, the metaphorical dust seems to have settled a bit. We managed to recharge our energy and calm our nerves.
It also does help that the Autumn weather turned calm and sunny, once again. Less wind and no rain has made it quite a lot easier to sleep and that changes everything.
The two nights in a hotel room also gave us some much needed perspective and even led to us hearing about a possible rental house as well as checking it out, right after leaving our hotel room.
Although the rental wasn't really what we're looking for, it reminded us that things can be found (relatively) easily, once we set our mind to them. It also assured us that we will have a dry, cosy place to stay in when the weather really turns Autumny/Wintery in the coming months.
This, in turn, will take off the pressure of having to have everything ready soon on our new land. Something that just isn't realistic at all
Yesterday it was my birthday and Clare and I had a nice time exploring some new places in the area and making some new connections with like minded souls. At night we topped it off with pizza and a drink ( or two ) in town.
Our visit to town and us spreading the word about the two of us still sleeping in a tent on our land l, due to the only building out there not being Winter proof, eventually led to two other possible rental houses coming our way.
Let's say that the news spreads quickly in a small town like this
It seems like these two options sound even more interesting than the first place we checked out, 3 days ago, so fingers crossed.
TO BE CONVINUED...
