After more than fifteen years here at The Pile we have become very accustomed to our environment and our daily routines. One might say "stuck in a rut". If that is the case, it is a very pleasant "rut" and I would argue that we have just become very settled to, and comfortable with, our life here in the village.
There was, therefore, a massive disturbance in The Force today, when we received a very respectable offer for the house. All of a sudden everything that seemed permanent was not. Our future was unclear and a thousand questions filled our heads.
It is fair to say that both of us were very unsettled by this sudden turn of events. I know that this is the natural order of things when you put your house up for sale, but after the complete lack of interest a couple of years ago, we didn't expect anything ... but we did hope.
Needless to say we have politely rejected the first offer. As I said, it was a good offer, but surely the prospective buyer has left some wiggle room and can up a little more ... After all we have conveyancing, removals and stamp duty to consider.
