When my family left last Tuesday after being here for so long caring for my nephew, I was feeling bereft, cried all morning.
Later in the afternoon, I had a call to say that the previous owners of our holiday home in Albany had moved out and it was now all ours! Takeover was on July 31st, but owners rented for a while, so it was like having a present and being unable to own it. I cheered up considerably and headed down on Friday for a glorious three days, sans DH, unfortunately as he was too busy.
It was such a wonderful time, the house is beautiful. We bought some of their furniture and they left heaps of stuff, so I could just move in! Here's a few photos:

The garden looks quite tropical MJ, you are going to have some lovely times there. How often will you have time to go for a break?

JD, I would love to live there! Albany is on the coast and our house is in Lower King, near the river. It's quite cool, but they've created an amazing garden. Each morning I saw two little blue wrens hopping around.
Hopefully I can go down every fortnight for a couple of days. We're having our family Christmas there and spending most of January there, too. DD is looking at getting married on the lawn as there's quite a bit down from the house.

It was a great purchase MJ and because the renters were the people who probably made that beautiful garden, they have obviously left it in tip top shape for you. I hope you have many happy times there and perhaps one day will retire there?

It looks lovely. What little I've seen of Albany today, it seems like a lovely spot. I hope you have many lovely times there.

That home looks so serene, just what you need just now.
How far away do you live from Albany? I think you will find that you will be going there far more often than you think. When we bought our home in the country ( 1 1/2 hour's drive away) we initially thought we would go once every 3 - 4 weeks ... it has got to the stage that if we (mainly me, because DH is invariably busy at work) don't get up every weekend we have terrible pangs of homesickness ... the moral of the story is, be prepared to head off every weekend! It is very hard to stay away from such a beautiful place.

How wonderful MJ. A lovely outlook. Well deserved.
