Well, we\u2019ve done it. We\u2019ve sold our beloved home in Herefordshire and headed south. The move wasn\u2019t without incident \u2013 is it ever? It was certainly stressful and frustrating – but we\u2019ve done it! The alcohol and chocolate intake definitely rose to critical levels.<\/span><\/p>\n

We’ve completed House Move Part 1, that is. We enjoyed the process so much, we\u2019re planning on doing it all over again next summer. And if you believe that, you’ll believe anything!<\/span><\/p>\n

We\u2019re currently living in\u00a0a little cottage in Devon. It\u2019s in a pretty village and we have a pub within stumbling distance. We’re content. Exhausted but content.<\/span><\/p>\n

I\u2019ve carved out a tiny bit of space in the box room for my writing cave and it\u2019s very cosy. I have a view over some trees which host a multitude of birds. It doesn’t exactly compete with John Fowles’ view over The Cobb, which I blogged about recently,\u00a0but it will do.<\/span><\/p>\n

We\u2019re also not far from the coast but have been so busy we\u2019ve only managed one beach walk! <\/span><\/p>\n

There’s some gorgeous countryside around and this was taken at Lambert’s Castle (an iron-age hill fort)\u00a0on a beautifully cold day. The only one we’ve had – the weather has been dismal ever since.<\/span><\/p>\n

I still can\u2019t quite believe I\u2019m living within a few short miles of Lyme Regis. I really must make the effort to see the Christmas lights which I hear are spectacular this year. Our tree is somewhat \u00a0less spectacular and is strictly cottage-sized. Still has an elephant on top though!<\/span><\/p>\n

2016 has been a strange year. So much has been put on hold and life has been dominated by all the stuff associated with moving house. It certainly hasn\u2019t been the most productive year for writing. However, a new year beckons and with it, new books. Speaking of which I\u2019d better get back to the writing cave and get some words down.<\/span><\/p>\n

Wherever you\u2019re celebrating this year, may I wish you a very Happy Christmas and a new year full of truly wonderful things to read.<\/span><\/p>\n

Love,<\/span><\/p>\n
