Finally!

I have not written anything for a couple of days. The reason is that

we have bought a flat in Edinburgh

for The Professor! Hurrah!

He called on Tuesday, all excited, but at the same time a bit afraid to make the decision on his own. So, I went up by train yesterday morning, we viewed the flat together, put in an offer this morning and it has been ACCEPTED! It is a bit scary to spend so much money (!), but I think it will be ok...

It ticks almost all the boxes we had, plus it also has a few extra bonuses! It is a newly renovated flat from 1890 (I think) in the part of town called Stockbridge. Below are some pictures from the sales site, so I am not sure how well they will turn out on the blog. The flat has

two double bedrooms to the back (this is the master bedroom),

an ensuite, 

the main bathroom,

and the kitchen.

The flat has solid oak wooden floors and they have kept the corniches under the celing. Downside is that the fireplace is blocked up (as many of them are), but we might find an electric fireplace to use as a focal point (instead of the plasma TV...).

I am rather excited and really looking forward to making my own mark on the place!
