I know I have been quiet here, too quiet. But a lot has been happening
behind the scenes at the little old cottage.
As many of the long-time readers will know, we own a small country general store and post office. It’s been a great little business for us but a few years ago we put it on the market to sell and follow our dreams of buying a farm.
But, like with many plans it was not all smooth sailing. The economy has been difficult, the banks tightened up their lending requirements. We have been patiently and not so patiently waiting for the right person to come along.
Finally, today was that day. A lovely local couple have signed the contracts, they have already looked into all the ins and outs and we know we are handing the business over that we have loved and nurtured for the last 7 years to good hands. They are getting a good, solid little business with room to grow as they please. They are local, and they are lovely, hard working family people.
So, what now?
Well, we finish renovating the little old cottage as fast as we humanly can and pop it on the market. Then we buy our long-awaited farm, after a holiday.
It is surreal.
I am shaky, excited, terrified, proud, nervous and happy all at once. I am allll the emotions bursting out of me.
Since Grant was a tiny child he has dreamed of a farm, and now, finally after 10 years of ups and downs, and slogging our guts out we are nearly there.
So, what does that mean for this little blog? Well I’d say it’s about to get a whole lot more interesting as we finish up here, and start on a brand-new family adventure!
And that my friends, is pretty darn cool.
Much love,
Emma
