Finally moved house!

Yes, we're finally in! All there is to do is return to clean the flat, then post the keys back to the landlord.
It took several Micra carloads to get all of our stuff into the new house, and at the moment the lounge is piled up with cardboard boxes. We are still a little short on furniture, as we moved from a furnished flat. When book shelves arrive on Friday we should be able to put most of our huge collection of books away!
It is a lovely little house, with not much that needs doing - the back garden will be the big thing, as it's just gravelled over at the moment. Patrick is looking enthusiatically at sheds!
In breaks we managed to visit the Royal Oak Folk Music and Beer Festival (our new local). Sadly we missed Mike Scott, though we bought one of his CDs that were on offer at the bar. We also missed Kerr/Fagan/Harbron/Burton but I expect we wouldn't have got into the pub! We did manage to see Hilary Pavey and Dave Totterdell, Amy and Fiddler's John and Stanton Delaplane who were all very good.
On Saturday we met up with some of Cardiff Branch of CAMRA who were doing a pub crawl of Bath, was very good to see some of the old crowd again. Beer of the festival was definitely the superbly hoppy 'Cruel Summer' by Mallinsons, which we sampled on Sunday as we celebrated moving in!
